Perry Watts-Russell | The Englishman in LA saving the world one song at a time.

LA Music Trail : Josiah Leming > Perry Watts- Russell #3

Until late 2010 Watts-Russell headed up A&R for Warner Bros Music delivering big big big bands like Radiohead to the world. He had every boy's dream job, he was the man that every band in the world would unquestionably give their right testicle to meet. He was Josiah Leming's MIP, who before encountering Perry Watts-Russell was basically a nothing kid living in the back of his car canvassing open mic nights. Watts-Russell rescued Leming. It was from Watts-Russell that i learned of the loss of Leming's mother to cancer. Watts-Russel nurtured Leming, not just as a business partner, but as a friend.
