TUNJI BALOGUN

Huge news in the music world: VP of A&R at RCA records, Tunji Balogun is headed to Def Jam to take over as CEO. Why is this news? Tunji has probably signed some of your favorite artists today— Bryson Tiller, SZA, Khalid, Childish Gambino, Normani and many, many, many more. I am so excited to see him take over at Def Jam—and can’t wait to see what he builds in this next chapter of the iconic hip hop label. They also recently announced that Snoop Dogg will be taking over as Executive Creative and Strategic Consultant, which is in line with the label's non-traditional history of artists taking on leadership roles at the company.
