Harvey Mason jr. on Serving as Executive Music Producer of ‘Bob Marley: One Love’: ‘It Was Something I Couldn’t Pass Up’


Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. talks serving as executive music producer of ‘Bob Marley: One Love’

“The filmmakers [led by director Reinaldo Marcus Green] did an excellent job of showcasing everything that was happening around different genres and the music and the culture at that period.” Mason doesn’t have to clear each outside music project with the trustees, but stresses, “I think there’s a mutual understanding that I wouldn’t want to do something that takes away from my job at the Academy. Before he became CEO, Mason received five Grammy nominations – three of them for his work in film and TV, on the soundtracks to Dreamgirls, Pitch Perfect 2 and Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.
