A&R Legend Tom Zutaut shares stories of discovering and signing Mötley Crüe and Guns N’ Roses to their first ever record deals. An inspiring tale of being a self starter.

“I had never really thought of it that way” the honest reaction you’ll hear time and time again from a man that never really saw the world like many of us do. Hear how Tom’s passion for music in just a few short years created an Almost Famous like existence for his life that would take him from high school radio programer to Elektra Records A&R. 

Living in Hollywood and knowing that something big was about to happen inspires Tom to sign his first band ever, the very raw, “To Fast For Love” version of Mötley Crüe. Eight short years later he’d do it all over again with being the fist to sign the all ready legendary Guns N’ Roses.
