Nickleback Manager Lectures at PAVI

Nickleback Manager and 604 Records label president Jonathon Simkin lectured the Film & Music Business students as part of their Indie Label class.

“ I really enjoy coming to PAVI and speaking with the students, we had a great lecture today. The class went overtime so we moved it outside on the deck to continue our discussion! Thanks for having me.”

"Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold over 35 million albums worldwide. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000's, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The Beatles for the 2000's. In December 2009, Nickelback were ranked 7th on Billboard Magazine's list of "Artists of the Decade" - both the highest-ranked band and the highest-ranked rock artist in the list. Billboard Magazine also named Nickelback as the Adult Pop Artist of the decade. The band has sold 21,000,000 album copies in the U.S. The band is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  The band is signed to EMI in Canada and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world. In July 2008, the band signed with Live Nation for three touring and album cycles, with an option for a fourth. The contract includes recordings, touring, merchandise and other rights."
