Gineyda Cornelio
Artist Marketing Manager U.S./LATIN, UnitedMasters
Cornelio discovered Zion y Lennox on a trip to Puerto Rico at age 11, sparking her love of reggaeton—and years later she was making content for the duo’s album and getting to tell them that they’d inspired her career. She’s now working the Latin roster, in particular Chilean artist Lyon La F, whose first full-length EP, AUSENCIA, arrives this August after a run of viral singles. A self-described reggaeton encyclopedia, Cornelio can name almost any golden-era track within the first few seconds. We need three guesses and a lifeline to name our own ringtone.
Hill Coulson
Director, Digital Marketing Global Trends & Campaigns, East West Records
Coulson once booked Mac Miller for his high school prom, made a one-second cameo in a Wiz Khalifa music video and watched Nia Archives turn a new generation of fans into junglists. He’s now rolling out Aussie R&B phenom BOY SODA’s debut U.S. headline shows this September and prepping new music from Canadian up-and-comer Jade LeMac, currently supporting Hilary Duff on tour. Coulson is a competitive pinball player and a member of his Brooklyn league’s reigning champion team—yes, there’s skill involved. We also tilt under pressure, just not on purpose.
Julie Greenberg
Agent, CAA
A Tallahassee kid raised on T-Pain, Greenberg later led CAA’s college department and secured the artist millions in the college space—then got to meet him and hear him thank her for it. She’s now part of the team steering Shaboozey’s biggest tour yet, just blew out Bella Kay’s sold-out debut headline run in presale and is helping land Annie DiRusso festival slots at ACL while building toward Tems’ headliner debut at AfroPlus this September. Greenberg’s a former competitive dancer who still choreographs routines, these days just for herself and her animals. Our dog judges us daily.
Sammy Seaver
GM/Artist Manager, Mutual Friends
Seaver is proud to have helped develop the digital strategy and creative world around Tiffany Day’s album HALO, which debuted at #1 on Apple Music’s Electronic chart and cracked the Dance Top 25 on its way to 24 sold-out shows across North America and Europe. He’s now launching new signing Blue—who sold out two L.A. shows before releasing any music—with debut single “oh, lover,” plus rollouts for Chelsea Cutler and UPSAHL. Seaver’s great-grandmother invented the tortilla chip but never patented it. We’re as corny as Kansas in August.
Seven Jarrett
Agent, Festivals, THE·TEAM
Jarrett fondly recalls watching side stage at the first seven-figure show she ever confirmed—the biggest deal in that festival’s 30-plus-year history. Tapping relationships with promoters and buyers worldwide, she’s now bringing major artists to new markets, including a Lagos event pushing Nigeria to the front of Africa’s international-festival boom, including work with Kehlani this year. Back in school in Ireland, Jarrett was the first Black class president (“head girl), and yes, she compared herself to Obama. Our student council career peaked at taking the minutes.
Cesar Carrillo
Director, A&R Musica Mexicana, Warner Music Latina
Carrillo recalls standing backstage as thousands sang every word of 8Uno and Airam Páez’s “Pelotero a la Bola,” a record he’d shepherded from demo to 230m+ streams. He’s since worked with Edgardo Nuñez, Los Alegres del Barranco and Raul Hernandez Jr. while watching música Mexicana grow into a global force and is now focused on where the sound heads next. Before he signed artists, Carrillo was one, performing regional Mexican music at 14 in Mexicali. Our teenage bedroom recordings stayed buried, and the world is better for it.
Kelly Carbone
Day to Day Manager, The Core Entertainment
Carbone is proud to have seen Dan + Shay open a new era at a packed Palomino Stage during Stagecoach 2026, which included a side-stage tequila bar and an onstage toast from NFL stars George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey. She’s now on the teams behind the duo’s sixth album, Young (8/21), and its 26-city Young Tour, kicking off 9/11, plus songwriter Ryan Hurd, fresh off a new deal and his single “Glory.” A trip to Alaska completed Carbone’s goal of visiting all 50 states, where she saw the Northern Lights and fed polar bears at the zoo. We belong in an enclosure.
Connor Brock
Manager, Regional Radio, Warner Records Nashville
Brock helped notch country newcomers Chase Matthew and Hudson Westbrook their first radio #1s just three months apart—and still counts Eric Church’s “Hell of a View” as the first #1 of his own career, which has since included work with Zach Bryan, Gabby Barrett and Dan + Shay. He’s now launching Cole Swindell’s single “Girl Dad” while pushing Matthew and Westbrook’s current singles toward the Country Top 30. A lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, Brock hasn’t missed a Thanksgiving game since 2008. We haven’t missed a Thanksgiving nap since 2008.
