2020 has seen big successes from an array of projects at
John Janick’s
Interscope overseen, shepherded, brought aboard and/or otherwise touched by EVP
Joie Manda.
DaBaby has ascended to superstar in under a year and is en route to a 150k #1 chart bow.
Playboi Carti dropped a new song that topped
Apple Music,
YouTube and
Twitter.
Lil Mosey has emerged as a legitimate hitmaker with smash “Blueberry Faygo,” with only
Drake in its way for a
Spotify #1. All of this comes in the wake of last year's breakout by
Summer Walker.
During his tenure at IGA, Joie has been a major player in deals with
Dreamville,
LVRN,
Juice WRLD,
Todd Moscowitz's
Alamo and more—which have collectively broken a large share of the acts now dominating the hip-hop and R&B space.
And you can stop telling Joie to smile in his photos. He
is smiling.
