Rick Sanjek

Rick Sanjek (born June 22, 1946) began his 53 year and running career in the music industry in March 1971 when he joined the Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) staff in Nashville. His paternal grandparents were immigrants from Zagreb, Croatia and his maternal grandparents from Ireland, County Galway for his grandfather David Tarpey and County Wexford for his grandmother Mary Codd. He was born in the Washington Heights, Manhattan neighborhood, and raised in New Rochelle, New York. In high school he was an AFS Intercultural Programs exchange student in Helsinki, Finland. During his senior year he had his own byline covering high school sports for the New Rochelle Standard-Star local newspaper. Between college graduation and moving to Nashville, he taught 5 and 6 grade in Harlem and the South Bronx.

Early Life

His father Russell Sanjek worked at BMI from 1940 through 1981 retiring as vice president of public relations and special projects. He was an autodidactic whose eclectic interests ranged across fine art, film, literature, and world history, but especially music where he became a noted record collector, music industry historian, and an authority on pop, jazz, black, and country music. At the end of his life he authored the first comprehensive history of the American music industry, American Popular Music and Its Business: the First Four Hundred Years, a three volume, 1,685 page accounting of “the story of America’s popular songs, the people who wrote them, and the business they created and sustained.” The books were published by Oxford University Press in 1988, two years after the elder Sanjek’s death in 1986. His mother Elizabeth (nee Tarpey) Sanjek was an accomplished watercolorist and a registered teacher with the Sumi-e Society of America and an academic associate for art of the China Institute of New York. She also studied Chinese cuisine with noted cookbook authors Grace Zia Chu and Florence Lin, and subsequently taught for many years in private lessons and at the Cooks Nook in Nashville TN.

American Popular Music and Its Business in The Digital Age

Rick Sanjek

In addition to licensing consultation for record labels, publishers, and websites, he wrote a follow-up to his late father Russell Sanjek’s three volume opus American Popular Music and its Business: the First 400 Years. His new work is titled American Popular Music and its Business in The Digital Age, 1985-2020 published in August 2024, also by Oxford University Press. The book “Traces the growth of revenue, changing technologies, and shifts in ownership and leadership of the record, publishing, live performance, and trade press sectors of the music industry.”

Personal Life

A 1968 graduate of Yale University with a BA in history, he was also founding partner and co-owner with leading Nashville restauranteur Randy Rayburn of the awarding-winning Sunset Grill, a fine dining, American cuisine eatery and wine bar that operated from 1990-2014.
