Ryan Faus ’11
If your favorite band releases singles one by one, or stopped dropping new albums right before the holidays, Ryan Faus might be behind it.
As the director of global research and analysis for the major music company Warner New York, Faus works in the Big Apple studying endless data from streaming services such as Spotify to come up with strategies on which artists to sign along with how and when to release new material.
“I was a business administration major, but I had the equivalent of a dual major in economics and a music minor,” explained Faus, who ran the B-Sides concerts during his time at Messiah. “I loved music and being close to it, and I loved business.”
When he landed the position at Warner the summer after he graduated, it was a perfect fit. And it still is, seven years later.
“I’m still learning new things, I get to work with great people and I’m excited to go into work every day,” Faus said.
