I am very proud to be named President of such a great company. I want to thank Mike Curb for giving me the opportunity to work with a world class company for the past 10 years. I will especially miss the team that I have assembled at Curb Records and our artists. I am very proud of everything we have accomplished together." Michaels starts his new role Jan. 14 and will continue to be based in Nashville, while also working out of New York and Florida; congratulate him here.
