Music mogul L.A. Reid, former CEO of Sony Music Entertainment’s Epic Records, is now making a comeback to the music biz.

According to the New York Post, Reid has teamed up with Charles Goldstuck, former executive chairman of TouchTunes Interactive Networks, to launch Hitco, a music, and publishing company.

Reid took a hiatus from the industry after reports surfaced of sexual harassment allegations against him.

As for Goldstuck, who is best known as Clive Davis’ right-hand man, he lists himself as founder and co-chairman of Hitco on his personal website.

During Reid’s time with the company, the label’s roster included some of music’s biggest stars such as Future, DJ Khaled, Mariah Carey and Diddy’s Bad Boy Records.
