Coalition Entertainment Records Inc.

Coalition Entertainment Records Inc. was established in 2004 by Coalition Entertainment Management principles Eric Lawrence and Rob Lanni who work with, among others, Simple Plan, Our Lady Peace and Finger Eleven. Lawrence and Lanni are joined by Toronto entertainment lawyer Sander Shalinsky in the venture with Warner Music Canada.

Coalition Entertainment continues to manage the artists signed to the label, but also guarantees Coalition artists the same level of marketing and promotional support as they would receive if signed directly to Warner. This forges a strong alliance between the two labels in the development of these new artists.

“Most artists these days don’t have the chance to develop properly before they are thrown out to the world,” commented Rob Lanni. “We can spend the right amount of time and effort developing an artist knowing full well that there will be a recording opportunity for them all in the future and that all partners in this are on the same page from day one. We see this as a distinct advantage for our artists. We hope that Coalition Entertainment Records will be judged on our success five and ten years from now rather than two.”
