Clive Davis on How to Build Stars and Revive Careers

I sat down with Clive Davis, one of the most influential executives in the history of music. We sat down at The Beverly Hills Hotel to unpack his legendary career, from building iconic labels to shaping the sound of generations. At 94 years old, his attention to detail, instincts, and work ethic are as sharp as ever. We talked about everything from his iconic Pre-Grammy Gala and artist development philosophy to the resilience it took to bounce back from major career setbacks. Clive also shared incredible behind-the-scenes stories about working with legends like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Santana, plus his perspective on today’s music industry. Hope you enjoy!
