This rugged tableau from weekend one of Coachella 2022 demonstrates that the movers and shakers of the biz can withstand even the harshest desert heat as they pilot the starmaker machinery behind the popular song. Seen just before deleting us from their phones are (l-r) Warner EVP Promotion & Commerce Mike Chester, S10 Entertainment founder and Anitta manager Brandon Silverstein, Warner CEO/Co-Chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck and UTA's Jbeau Lewis.
The unrelenting sun of Coachella, however, didn't prevent ardent displays of affection like this joyful clinch between The Lede Company's Courtni Asbury, Warner EVP Media & Strategic Development Laura Swanson and Warner EVP/Head of A&R Karen Kwak, all of whom hasten to remind you to stay hydrated.
