Artist Direct: Feature: Alan Melina Honored at 2015 "Hearts For Hope Gala"

One of the record industry's most influential figures, Mr. Alan Melina, is receiving the distinction of being honored at the 2015 "Hearts for Hope Gala," which benefits Union Rescue Mission's Hope Gardens Family Center. This is a very special moment for the veteran executive and publishing pioneer who has been an unwavering supporter of the Union Rescue Mission for more than 20 years and Hope Gardens too. You've most certainly heard songs that Mr. Melina has been behind. He's been an agent, a publisher, and now a manager, and he's signed everybody from David Bowie and Sade to The Cult and Lady Gaga. Currently, he serves as CEO and Founder of New Heights Entertainment—the management company behind one of 21st century music's most ubiquitous and influential forces producer RedOne [Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, U2, Usher]. The most important thing though is that in between his incredible contributions to the music industry, Mr. Melina remains a paragon of charity and good will, utilizing his position to give back literally every chance he gets. The event is happening on Saturday February 28 at the Four Seasons in Westlake Village. Stay tuned for what Melina and New Heights Entertainment have on the horizon here! —Rick Florino 02.15.15 Read more online at Artistdirect.com
