Comment: This is a promotional resume written with what seem to be underhanded tactics. It's not Yahoo that listed him as a top-30 something, it's a press release that ended up on Yahoo. "the Global CEO of Excellence Awards"--what even is that? Apparently some thing on someone's website, which turns out to be a promotional site where you pay to get yourself noticed. Also, "British music executive, entrepreneur, talent manager, singer, songwriter, record producer, and TV presenter"--no. Drmies (talk) 03:51, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
