Jamie Arlon started Arlon Music in September 2006.

He started his career as an actor working from rep and regional theatre to the West End, and from small parts in film to the lead in a BBC TV series. It was at this time that he started sourcing songs from Nashville and New York’s top music publishers for artists such as Celine Dion, Cher, Edyta and Bonnie Tyler for record producer Christopher Neil. Spending further time in Nashville and Kentucky led to him managing the Kentucky rock band Edenstreet, moving to America and signing them to A&M Records. Leaving London for Los Angeles he based his management at A&M Records and set up the American side of his father’s, (Deke Arlon) music publishing company April Music. Jamie signed and worked with a handful of great British and American writers and artists, amongst them: Jim Weatherly, Robert White Johnson, Dennis Lambert and the Tom Collins catalogue. Gaining international hits as well as developing new talent, he was also fortunate enough to be involved in the management of some great songwriters and artists including Nicky Chinn, Bill Wyman and Ray Davies.

After selling the April music publishing company to the Sanctuary Group in 2001, Jamie became Director of A&R for Sanctuary Music Publishing and was a major contributor in the acquisition of talent during Sanctuary’s heyday. At Sanctuary he developed their roster of writers and artists, being given the opportunity to build a very successful and creatively driven new independent publishing company, with a roster that included amongst others: the latest releases of folk hero Bert Jansch, cult legend Todd Rundgren, UB40’s back catalogue and their 2005 album “Who You Fighting For”, the Ten Ten catalogue including the country-pop superstar Keith Urban, the Alan Roy Scott catalogue, the Gil Scott Heron catalogue which enjoyed a No1 hit with Paul Weller’s cover of “The Bottle”, Boz Boorer who co-wrote Morrissey’s phenomenal No. 2 album “You Are The Quarry”, and Axl Rose with his share of the entire Guns & Roses back catalogue.

In the Summer of 2006 Jamie left Sanctuary to set up his own artist management and music publishing company: Arlon Music. With a handful of artists, songwriters and the representation of established catalogue – Jamie will be continuing his ethos of nurturing and fully exploiting artistic talent. It is Jamie’s huge energy and passion for music that will see Arlon Music creating some of the most outstanding and successful music of the future.

Deke Arlon successfully runs D&J Arlon, his personal management company, whose clients include the actor Dennis Waterman, the journalist and broadcaster Richard Littlejohn and the performer Marti Pellow. As they always have done, Deke and Jamie will continue to collaborate on various projects together. Deke’s full bio and contact information can be found at his website here.
