2014 ARIA Industry Icon Award Recipient - Denis Handlin AM Biography

Denis is the Chairman & CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia & New Zealand and President, Asia. He commenced his career with the company in 1970 and has been leading it since 1984.

Apart from his family, music has been the most important passion in Denis’ life. Not only has his whole career been in the music industry, he has worked tirelessly for music generally and for Australian music in particular. This includes serving as Chairman of the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia and of the Australian Record Industry Association. He is the current Chairman of ARIA, a position he has held over many years since the early 90s, including ten consecutive years from 1999 to 2008.

In May 1996, Denis became the first Australian and the first Sony Music Entertainment executive to be honoured with the CEO Special Recognition Award presented by Sony Corporation’s Chairman and CEO, Norio Ohga.

Denis is the co-founder of the Sony Foundation which was established in 1998 and has raised over $20 million for youth-focused causes. He is also very proud to be Patron of the Youth off the Streets Scholarship Program since its inaugural year in 2004. He is also an inaugural board member of the Ricky Stuart Foundation, established in 2012 to raise funds for autism awareness and services.

In the Australia Day 2005 Honours List, Denis was made a Member of the Order of Australia in recognition of his service to the music industry, particularly through the promotion of Australian musicians, to professional organisations in the industry and for the work he has done in the community for charitable organisations.

In June 2009, Denis received the Ted Albert Award from the Australian Performing Rights Association for Outstanding Services to the Music Industry.

In April 2012, Denis received the “Label Executive of the Year - Major” award from the Worldwide Radio Summit Industry Awards held in Los Angeles.

Denis plays a critical role in the development of Australian artists which over the years has included Men at Work, Midnight Oil, Tina Arena, Silverchair, Delta Goodrem, Pete Murray, David Campbell, Human Nature, Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy and Justice Crew.

Denis has been married to his wife Jan for longer than he has been leading Sony Music. They have been married for 37 years and have six children.
