Jason Flom

Jason Flom is the Founder and CEO of Lava Records, Lava Music Publishing, and Lava Media, LLC.  Previously, he served as Chairman and CEO at Atlantic Records, Virgin Records, and Capitol Music Group, and he is personally responsible for launching acts such as Katy Perry, Kid Rock, Lorde, and Greta Van Fleet.  

A founding Board member of the Innocence Project, Jason is an expert on criminal justice issues and has been a beacon of support and opportunity for many incarcerated and formerly incarcerated adults.  In fact, Rolling Stone Magazine lauded the deeply respectful way he interacts with the people he encounters in prison “Flom also, crucially, takes their calls, listens to them, doesn’t treat them like a walking tragedy or a person with something to hide.”  He is the host of the hit podcast, Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom, now in its seventh season, which features interviews with men and women who have spent decades in prison for crimes they did not commit, some even sentenced to death. 

Flom’s love for animals inspired his latest project, the children’s book Lulu Is a Rhinoceros, co-written with his daughter Allison Flom and released in June, 2018. The book explores social themes addressing individuality, tolerance, and most importantly, acceptance, and launched with partnerships including Bonobos, Zappos, and the African Wildlife Foundation.
