Sting is among the many acts who have recorded on the performance stage in Kierszenbaum’s spacious office, based out of Universal Music Group’s Santa Monica, Calif., headquarters. He also signed Keane and T.A.T.U., headed up international operations for Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope for more than 10 years (he worked with everyone from Eminem to No Doubt) and has done A&R for the likes of Enrique Iglesias, Marilyn Manson, Will.i.am and Sting (the lattermost artist consistently since 2001).

In the 25 years that followed, he has played a key role in such mega-selling acts as Lady Gaga (Cherrytree released her first two studio albums, which have sold 6.2 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan), Disclosure, Ellie Goulding, Feist, Robyn and LMFAO, among others. That passion for music has been a constant for the 47-year-old multi-instrumentalist throughout his career, which started in the mailroom at PolyGram Music Group in 1989.
