Page 14 January 26, 2017 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Community Briefs from page 3 Proud Dad from front page an internship with Elektra in the A & R (Artists & Repertoire) department, which led to a job in college radio promotion and lifestyle promotion. In 1999, Carianne joined Universal Music Publishing as an A & R assistant and then moved to DreamWorks as an A & R coordinator where she learned about synchronization licensing. “At the time, synchronization was a very, very small piece of the overall music business,” she said. “As the company and that area of the business started to grow, I was promoted to become the creative licensing executive. I only left DreamWorks [in 2003] because the company was put up for sale. I went back to Universal Music Publishing as a synchronization exec and from there went to SONGS in 2006.” On receiving honors for the second consecutive year, Carianne credited her team at SONGS. “I am most proud of the fact that our company has grown into what we are today and that we’re powerful enough to have an executive recognized on this prestigious list,” she said. Though Kirk, Sr. moved the family to Palos Verdes in the 1970s, he maintained a major presence in El Segundo through his real estate business, and his involvement with the high school (where he was a member of the CIF-winning basketball team in 1963) and other local causes. “I went to school in PV, but my memories of El Segundo go very deep,” Carianne said. “I spent a lot of time here and we were always in town for July 4 and the Hometown Fair. I vividly remember the construction of the building at Main Street and Holly [that is now home to Kirk Brown Realty]. You can find my handprints, as well as my brother’s, in the cement in the parking area. My dad spoke fondly about his time growing up in town, and he and my brother were very excited to move back to El Segundo a few years ago.” Carianne currently lives in Studio City with her husband and three-year-old son. She also has a stepson and stepdaughter in their late teens. Kirk, Sr. recalled that back in the day, his daughter would help out with the real estate business by sitting in open houses and working in the office part-time. But that was never her passion. “She was always into music and never seriously considered real estate as a vocation--and that was fine with me,” he said. “I never pushed either of my kids to go into real estate, although when my son told me he wanted to work with me I was secretly doing cartwheels internally.” Those cartwheels share equal time between both kids. “Carianne is brilliant—graduated from USC with honors, has a great family— and it pleases me so that she is doing something that she truly loves,” Kirk, Sr. said. “That is so important…and on top of that, she is very successful.
