APG’s Director of A&R, Miles Beard, featured in new Billboard cover story “2014 Chart-Toppers Reveal Stories Behind Their No. 1 Hits”!

In Billboard’s Year in Music 2014 cover story, they sat down with producer Ricky Reed to discuss Jason Derulo’s number 1 single “Talk Dirty” ft. 2 Chainz. The article reads: “While in Tel Aviv, Israel, A&R man Miles Beard picked up on a saxophone riff in a 2007 song called “Hermetico” from the Israeli band Balkan Beat Box. Miles heard the song in January and played it for me on his phone in Los Angeles. As soon as the saxophone riff came in, I knew it was a hit waiting !
