Ethan Sacré
Director, Digital Strategy, EMPIRE
Sacré has contributed to campaigns leading to platinum and gold hits like Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” 310babii’s “soak city (do it)” and Key Glock’s “Let’s Go,” not to mention a quick vinyl sellout for Babytron. He recently pioneered the first in-game ad for a console, launching a campaign for Free Nationals, Anderson .Paak and A$AP Rocky’s “Gangsta” in PS4/PS5 games. He also managed a Fortnite Twitch stream for Key Glock, integrating music into live gameplay. Sacré also plays in the band Crop Top. We’re still figuring out how to change a string.
Sean Lewis
Manager, Digital & Strategic Marketing, Primary Wave
Lewis’ career highlights include spearheading marketing for R&B legend Luther Vandross—boosting his catalog by 49% since 2021—and developing campaigns for icons like James Brown and Prince. More recently, he’s been all about the digital initiatives for the 40th anniversary of Prince’s Purple Rain and various experiential events for his roster. Additionally, Lewis oversees content for the PW DEI Task Force’s “Wavemakers in Music” series. Lewis holds a degree in political science and once considered a career in the foreign service. We once considered a career.
Nathalie Iglesias
VP, Plush Management
Iglesias was proud to see fellow Colombian KAROL G and Tiësto cut “Contigo,” her first-ever song pitch, which earned 150m+ Spotify streams and hit #24 on the Global 200. As the new VP of Plush Management, she helps oversee the entire roster—which includes Coi Leray, JVKE and Grammy-nominated producer Johnny Goldstein—while prioritizing the discovery of the next big Latin artist and fostering Faouzia’s success on the Chinese show Singer. Iglesias says she makes the best Colombian arepas in L.A., but only for her closest friends. We were told not to bother asking.
Jourdan Washington
Associate Director of Marketing, RCA
From promoting Khalid’s Free Spirit bus activation as a college marketing rep to working on his latest project as a PM, Washington’s career has been studded with highlights. She was also thrilled to work on Lucky Daye’s Candydrip, which was Top 5 on the R&B Albums chart and earned two Grammy noms. Now she’s involved with Daye’s third album, Algorithm; Childish Gambino’s upcoming Bando Stone and the New World; and Khalid’s summer release. Washington started playing the piano at three and sang in her church choir. Our singing tends to turn folks into non-believers.
Matthew Clarke
GM, KMGMT Labels and Manager
Clarke is proud to have discovered and developed KiNG MALA and Stand Atlantic to global acclaim and activated partnerships with Jack Daniels, Journeys and the A-League. He also oversaw the promotional campaign for Brian Tyler’s Awakening with The Wynn Las Vegas. He’s now broadening his label’s reach with a new JV, including inking Against the Current and The Summer Set. On the management side, he’s preparing for Stand Atlantic’s album and tour. Clarke is a ketchup enthusiast and has even signed a contract or two with it. We, meanwhile, can barely cut the mustard.
Becky Lopez
Director of Marketing, Nice Life Recording Company
Back when Lopez began her career in radio, she dog-sat for 2 Chainz, helped Nicki Minaj as she took over Power 106 for “Queen Radio” and exchanged phone numbers with Lil Kim. Hearing Tinashe’s new single “Nasty” on air brought everything full circle for her. She’s gearing up for an intense spate of roster activity, including upcoming projects from Tinashe, Cumbia Pop artist Estevie and rapper TisaKorean. Lopez had a short-lived acting career, with one movie on her resume. We auditioned to be extras but didn’t get the part.
