   Cinq Music, the data-driven indie record label and global distribution   
   company, has appointed Marcus Spence as Senior VP of A&R at the company. The   
   announcement was made by Cinq co-founder and President Barry Daffurn. Spence   
   has been a key individual    
   behind a number of notable projects in the entertainment industry, having   
   worked with artists Timbaland, Keri Hilson, Nelly Furtado, OneRepublic, Tink   
   and soul singer V Bozeman.   
      
   "Marcus brings a ton of creativity and fits our unique approach to the music   
   business," says Daffurn. "Our priority right now is growth, and we will be   
   developing new talent, and adding to our roster of iconic artists. With his   
   amazing track record of    
   developing so many commercially successful artists, we are very excited to   
   have him."   
      
   "Barry and I will learn from each other," adds Spence. "I believe my   
   experience from traditional music business operations allows me to bring a   
   different side to Cinq. I'm here to help artists blossom, and to be that ideal   
   partner an artist may be    
   missing. Cinq's business model is the best I've ever studied, taking data to   
   repurpose music in strategic and targeted fashion. We can also utilize data to   
   expand the artist's already existing audience, and cross-brand in a way that   
   solidifies us as a    
   hub. This is so important to an artist's career."   
      
   Spence began his career in the film and music industry after earning a degree   
   in Mass Communication from Norfolk State University. He quickly established   
   himself as a creative force for branding artists of all genres. While at   
   Mosley Music Group, Spence    
   was involved in some of the biggest songs of the past 10 years, including   
   "Apologize" from OneRepublic, and both "Promiscuous" and "They Way I Are" by   
   from Nelly Furtado. He was the marketing engine behind such albums as   
   OneRepublic's Dreaming Out Loud (   
   selling 1.8 million worldwide), Timbaland'sTimbaland Presents Shock Value   
   (over 4 million worldwide), Kerry Hilson's Perfect World (half a million   
   sold), and Furtado's Loose (with 8 million sold worldwide and 14 million in   
   singles alone). Prior to    
   assuming his title role at the label, Marcus was the Vice President for the   
   Interscope distributed imprint, Beat Club, where Marcus worked with the female   
   MC Ms. Jade, marketing her record "Ching, Ching, Ching" featuring Nelly   
   Furtado and Timbaland for    
   use by GM and the H2 Hummer. He also launched the career of gold-selling   
   rapper Bubba Sparxxx, whose 2003 album Deliverance is widely regarded as one   
   of the best and most ambitious hip-hop albums of the decade. "My goal at Cinq   
   is to have a global number    
   one single, no question," says Spence.
