Endorse Bobby Springsteen8 Reviews
Not only is Bobby one of the most sincere and compassionate people I have ever met, he is a creative visionary. I consider myself lucky to have crossed paths with him. He understands how to evoke the truth out of an artist.
Bobby Springsteen was the senior A&R on my album, "Child Of The Ghetto" that was released on Bad Boy records in 2001. He was directly involved in the development of my entire project on a clerical and production level. His professionalism, personability, and talent is memorable to this day.
I have known Bobby 20+ years and worked with him on numerous major label projects where he was the A&R. Excellent character, vision and work drive.
I worked alongside my brother Bobby when he was handling multiple projects as A&R at Motown Records—I was producing & writing alongside partner, legendary producer DJ Eddie F. Bobby has decades of critically acclaimed success both in managing the business of music as well as the creative side, as a songwriter/producer himself. His ear & musical integrity are unmatched, as well as his level of support for artists including before they became superstars. Bobby is a TRUE legend in the music industry!
I, Livio Harris, CEO of Who's Harris Entertainment LLC, with 36 years of experience across all sides of the industry as an artist on Uptown Records, manager, publisher, and catalog broker, have had the pleasure of working with Bobby Springsteen for many years. He was instrumental in helping me build a U.K. publishing company, Notting Hill Music, into a phenomenal company in the U.S. Bobby assisted us in signing great songwriters and producers associated with artists such as Nelly, Michael Jackson, among many others. Notting Hill grew from a startup into a mult-million-dollar company in the U.S
Bobby has always had a great ear for music.
He picked the beat for Bad Boy Fpr Life for my group when I was a Bad Boy Artist but Diddy wanted the beat for himself but thankfully I was asked to write his verse for the song but none of that happens without Bobby’s vision.
Please to work with.What can I say Bobby Springsteen is an amazingly creative individual with an awesome ear for talent & music. Years in the business under his belt & His professionalism is top tier. An actual ball of knowledge in pub,marketing,songwriting, arranging, production + more!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
