who is Sal York ?
Salomon “Sal” York, Brooklyn native and descendent of one of Black culture’s strongest legacies in entertainment, has packed a wealth of experience into 30+ years. He grew up within arms’ reach of his heroes thanks to his father’s position as one of Hip-Hop’s most respected figures during the genre’s golden era in the 1990s. He casually recalls legends like Stevie Wonder, Stetsasonic, and James Brown, Jr. stopping by to hang with his dad and hosting the men responsible for founding rap dynasties like Africa Bambata, Russel Simmons, and a young Jay Z at their home as highlights of his childhood. In his youth, Sal discovered his own talent for singing and performing, often holing himself into his family’s recording studio, exploring and nurturing his gifts. Sal also looked to his cousins James DuBose (CEO of Fox Soul Network) and Kedar Massenburg (Neo-Soul Inventor, and former CEO/President of Motown Records) as examples of how far his talent might take him. An awareness of his innate star potential is what Sal York held on to throughout life’s many challenges. While studying Marketing Management at Athens Technical College, Sal reconnected with his passion for music, nurturing the careers of rising stars like Trippie Redd from his home and making a name for himself as an event promoter. His ability to rise above his immediate circumstances to be enterprising is what led him to founding 123Management & Co. in 2017 after brokering his first record deal between Lil Wop and Alimo Records. Presently, 123Management & Co. has cemented Sal’s status as one of Hip-Hop’s most dominant music consultants, A&R, and managers. His resume boasts highlights from platinum-selling artists and producers like Lil Kim, Gucci Mane, and PNB Rock as well as Atlanta’s latest class of up-and-coming artists. Because of viral records like “Walk” Remix by Comethazine and ASAP Rocky and Lil Durk’s hit “No Auto Durk” (produced by Bhunna and Jungle Beats of 123Management & Co. respectively), 123Management & Co. has impacted streaming platforms with 1 BILLION+ streams and earned $7M in revenue. As well as garnering several certified gold and platinum releases, legendary artist Lil Kim celebrated the release of her album 9 landing internationally at #1 thanks in great part to her remix of “No Auto Durk”, “No Auto Blanco”. 123Management & Co. specializes in positioning high-value independent artists to benefit from strategic partnerships with major labels and other brands. In 2019, Sal York and 123Management & Co. secured a distribution deal with Sony Records through his joint venture with Artist Bhunna and Phlexn Production. As he looks toward the future, Sal York is excited to continue growing representation for independent artists who are looking to break barriers across the music industry.
