LVRN has appointed Amber Grimes as executive vice president/GM of LVRN Records and as a partner in LVRN Management.
The Atlanta-based company is home to acts including Summer Walker and 6Lack, and Grimes has been brought in to oversee operations across all of its divisions, while developing new strategies and marketing plans. Her remit is to expand LVRN’s global reach.
Grimes said: “It was important to me to take the skills I’ve acquired over the years and apply them all to a forward-thinking business. And that’s exactly what LVRN has built. The founders and I also all came up together in Atlanta so joining forces at this point in our careers is like Voltron coming together. It’s powerful.”
