About Me

I am a fun loving person who believes in the theory of displaying good intentions and that will lead you down the right path. Karma can be a bit tricky, so try to do the right thing and hopefully the outcome turns out right! So, here is my professional bio. It doesn't say much about my likes and dislikes but I love everything and enjoy the moment as often as possible.reThirty odd years ago, Robert Cutarella made a decision to pursue his childhood dream and forego the job security he had already established as an English teacher. His decision paid off as today, with two recent Grammys as a producer, over 3,000 songs recorded as a publisher and over 160 platinum records to his name, Robert wears a smile from ear to ear and never looks back. He began his career as a producer and performer. He was employed by all the major labels and performed with a variety of recording artists ranging from Joe Williams to Bruce Sprinsteen. In 1978, Chappell Music/Polygram, then the largest publisher, pursued Robert and became the catalyst for his long term success. He was involved with securing cover recordings as well as signing and developing writers; garnering hits with Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, Sheena Easton, Air Supply, Melissa Manchester, Whitney Houston, Michael Henderson, Diana Ross, Deborah Allen, Dolly Parton, The Police, Elton John, REM, Culture Club, Human League, ABC, Linda Rondstadt, Frank Sinatra and many more. In addition, he was fortunate enough to work with the writers already signed ranging from Hall and Oates and the Bee Gees to Sammy Cahn, Benny Benjamin and Jule Styne. Chappell was sold and Robert quickly became the VP of John Hammond's new label with CBS/Sony Records. He furthered his success by either signing or developing Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous T Birds, Metallica, Raven, Gino Vanelli, Vanessa Williams, Patrick Simmons, Basia and a few other acts. When John died, Robert began a publishing/ management company which created world wide hits for Celine Dion, The Temptations, .38 Special, Jennifer Rush, Alice Cooper and more. The management division represented Lynryd Skynrd, Johnny Van Zant and other great artists. The publishing catalogue was sold to Polygram and in 1990,Robert went over to MCA to become the East Coast Director. This continued his hot streak with hits from Eternal, Jeremy Jordan, SWV, Michael Bolton, Dana Dawson, Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Celine Dion, Robin S and numerous other chart records. In 1994, Robert decided to go out on his own again and to date has produced records with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Joss Stone, Sting, Billy Gibbons(ZZ TOP), Allison Krauss, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), John Rzeznik (The Goo Goo Dolls), Keith Richards, Cyndi Lauper and many more. Recently, he produced Ashley Tisdale , the star of High School Musical, for MGM'S new film Picture This. He won two Grammys in 2006 and is extmely excited about what the future holds. We can safely say that he is and continues to be an important force in the recording industry!
