Miles Leonard – Former Chairman, Parlophone Records / Warner Music
In this episode, Miles Leonard - a respected record executive, tastemaker, and lifelong music fan - shares rare insight into his years at the helm of Parlophone Records and his close working relationship with Paul Weller during the mid-2010s. Miles was Director of A&R between April 1995 and May 2003, before stepping up to chairman - a role he held until 2012 when he was made Chairman of Parlophone & Warner Records. He left the role in 2018, to set up his my own company Viva La Music, whilst also working as A&R/Creative executive to Warner Music. With a career spanning decades and a reputation for championing creative talent (from Kylie to Coldplay, The Beta Band to Dr. John), Miles recounts what drew him to Paul Weller, how he signed him to Parlophone, and the collaborative spirit that shaped three of Paul Weller’s albums: Saturns Pattern, A Kind Revolution, and True Meanings.
