Can you tell us a bit about the company’s history and its roster?

Atlantic Records has a rich history with legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and current artists including Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and Cardi B. Atlantic is known for its artist development and continued success in building global superstars.

And can you tell us a bit about the acts you personally work with at this moment?

I have a unique role where I use research to help identify artists for the label to sign. I’ve contributed in many of our recent artist signings including Luh Tyler, BabyFxce E, and more.

What was the moment you decided you wanted to work with music?

I was drawn to music at an early age, but didn’t pursue it as career until midway through college. My sophomore year I decided to combine my academic interests in Computer Science with my personal passion of music by building analytic tools to find trending songs and artists.

MALU, Barbro, Trader.
