RCA'S IN RHYTHM WITH GIAMELA, VALENTINI
The work on recent Doja Cat and Chris Brown singles has paid off: RCA has upped both Lori Giamela and Kevin Valentini to the position of Senior Vice President, Promotion.
The two will continue to run the Rhythm team—Giamela on the West Coast and Valentini in New York.
Most recently, the dynamic duo scored four #1 records in 2020 with Brown and Doja Cat leading the pack as the third and fourth most-played artists. In particular, Brown’s “Go Crazy” has been an enduring hit over the last nine months.
Previously Vice President, Rhythm Promotion, they have led the team for the last five years and garnered multiple #1 records from artists such as Miguel, G-Eazy and Khalid.
They’ve been cleared to pop the champagne mask-free.
