In our latest roundup, we present eight more stars of tomorrow from various parts of the biz whose dedication and effort make their superiors look good.
This week's entrants will also find their faces in our most recent mag. Lucky for them, this feature—and $27.89—will get them a nano-pure, restructured, hyper-oxygenated liter of water from participating
Erewhon locations.
Jennifer Fierman
Head of A&R & West Coast, Disruptor Records & Management
Fierman arrived at Disruptor’s New York office in 2017, then built out its West Coast operation. Her latest career highlight is pairing musician-producer
Evan Blair with
Dove Cameron (whom Fierman helped ink), leading to Dove’s platinum “Boyfriend” and Best New Artist
VMA. She’s also excited about securing
Maude Latour’s sync in
Netflix’s
Do Revenge (9/16) and her producer-writer client
Pink Slip, who executive-produced
Amelia Moore’s
Teaching a Robot How to Love. “I’ve been to A LOT of
Phish shows,” she notes, where she always hoped not to run into
us.
Charlie Stent
Founder/CEO, Stent Music Group
For Stent, nothing tops
Patrick Martin’s playing a sold-out set at London’s
Roundhouse and
NERIAH’s headlining the
Troubadour. This year, he was proud to see Martin ink with
Glassnote,
Aidan Bissett (co-managed with
Hills Artists) hit the road with
LAUV and secure an
Adidas brand deal, NERIAH amass nearly 1m monthly
Spotify listeners in five months and U.K. mixing engineer
Charlie Holmes score a U.S. #1 Top 40 hit with
Nicky Youre’s “Sunroof” f/
dazy. Stent also has a new label JV in the works. Outside of music, he’s a true
Love Island fan. Too bad he can’t vote us away.
Caroline Trujillo
Senior Manager, Digital Marketing, Electric Feel Entertainment & Ventures
Trujillo co-starred in
Labrinth’s first
TikTok clip and was called a “G” by the artist in the
Euphoria Season One vinyl liner notes. Focused on EF’s Entertainment & Ventures arm, she’s all about creating cohesion between the company’s clients and venture brands on the digital-marketing side. This year, she’s worked on album launches for
iann dior and
Vory and is currently helping with video strategy for producer
Z3N and marketing for producer
Roofeeo. This avid
UNO deck collector once gave someone a nosebleed in the
Turnstile mosh pit at
Glastonbury.
Anna Antoniadis
Product Manager, Create Music Group
Antoniadis will never forget discussing the black V-neck worn in almost all of
Shawn Mendes’ early videos with Mendes himself or the time she heard
NERIAH’s debut EP,
This Is How the World Made Me, premiere on
Zane Lowe as a World First. Now, she’s focused on upcoming releases, including NERIAH’s sophomore EP (out 10/14) and
Magic City Hippies’ remix EP, plus rounding out
Watsky’s trilogy with a new album and working with
¿Téo? on new music. Antoniadis got her pilot’s license before her driver’s license. We’re a flight risk.
Michael Falligan Jr.
Global Communications, Music, TikTok
Professor, Music Business, Rowan University
When Falligan joined TikTok in 2020, his first project was onboarding no less than
Paul McCartney. This year, he’s proud to have created two hip-hop-centered panels in celebration of
Black Music Month for the platform. Currently, Falligan’s working closely with the
SoundOn team to provide independent artists―which have included
Muni Long,
Russ,
Nicky Youre and
JAWAN.mp3―tools
to release and market their music. In his spare time, Falligan is all about cooking and food-blogging. We also blog, except no one’s interested in what
we have to say (or cook).
Danielle Giles
Director of Commercial Strategy, Ingrooves Music Group
Giles sat front-row at
Lizzo’s
Because I Love You album-release party, did shots with
RZA after the
Wu-Tang’s 2021
Red Rocks show and helped launch a
Rina Sawayama Artist Series on
Peloton. Lately, the Seattle native has been working on campaigns for albums by Sawayama (due 9/16) and
The 1975 (10/14) and supporting new material by Tacoma, Wash., mathcore legends
Botch. Giles recently adopted the DIY ethos and built her first cabinet. Our DIY skills are dismal.
Zach Siegal-Eisman
VP, Marketing, Crowd Surf
When Siegal-Eisman was seven,
John Fogerty’s “Centerfield” was his favorite song, so he’s understandably excited to have been working with the legend since 2021 to grow his digital presence. Currently, he’s promoting
Journey’s new #1 album,
Freedom, while spearheading new-release initiatives for
Bush (The Art of Survival) and
Dirty Heads (Midnight Control) and boosting social content by acts like
Neil Diamond,
Chuck Berry and
James Brown. Siegal-Eisman’s a SoCal breakfast-burrito connoisseur with a rating system on
Airtable. Don’t believe us? Peep his gram.
Katie Nowak
Head of Marketing/Brand Agent, TBA Agency
Nowak’s past clients include
Tyler, the Creator,
ILLENIUM,
Flume and
ODESZA. She’s excited to continue that streak at TBA, including efforts on behalf of client
Courtney Barnett, whom Nowak recently worked with alongside Barnett’s team and
AEG Presents to launch the
Here & There Festival. From tour marketing to brand & culture partnerships and more, Nowak’s always on the move, which is something she may or may not have learned from her distant relative
Joe Pesci.
