In keeping with the surge of alumni becoming published authors, we invite you as JG meets with Writers Boot Camp Professional Member David Junk to discuss his recently published book Rockin’ the Kremlin: My Incredible True Story of Gangsters, Oligarchs, and Pop Stars in Putin’s Russia, and his journey from Ohio farmer to international music executive and writer.

David was the first CEO of Universal Music in Moscow, and for a decade he promoted international artists in Russia, including stars like Mariah Carey, Elton John, U2, Sting, and Bon Jovi. He also signed many Russian artists to Universal, including t.A.T.u. and Alsou. As Vice-President Eastern Europe at Universal Music in 2003, he opened the first Universal Music office in Kyiv, Ukraine, and developed music reality shows for Ukrainian TV.

David was also the North American Entertainment Relations Director of Gibson Brands, Inc., where he started company operations in Russia and opened the first Gibson Guitar showroom in Moscow. He was a founding member of the Russian Music Industry Association and the US Ambassadors Task Force on Intellectual Property Rights.

Long before his publishing deal with Rowman & Littlefield for his 2024 book, David was a Writers Boot Camp Professional Member in 2008.
