When the Soviet Union fell, Russia was hungry for Western music and its messages. David Junk, one of the first Americans to step into this uncharted territory, took on the challenge of building a music industry from scratch. With a talented team of young Russians, David navigated a landscape of political turmoil, organized crime, and cultural clashes, bringing megastars like Metallica, Mariah Carey, Sting, and Eminem to Russian audiences and developing local acts like Alsou and t.A.T.u., Russia's bestselling pop act of all time.
