SONY'S POST-GRAMMY CELEBRATION: ALL STYLES WELCOME
Team Sony celebrated a fab Grammy night by extending their time without sleep just a few more hours and posing for these sexy photos.
Album of the Year winner Harry Styles felt that everyone here should get matching silver-fringe outfits for the next photo op. Seen feeling even more fashionable than usual are (l-r) manager Jeffrey Azoff, Columbia President Jenifer Mallory, Styles, Sony Music boss Rob Stringer and Columbia Chairman/CEO Ron Perry.
Seen conferring on future Doja Cat choreography are (l-r) manager Josh Kaplan, RCA topper Peter Edge, Doja, Stringer, RCA COO John Fleckenstein and manager Gordan Dillard.
Epic GM Rick Sackheim, EVP, head of A&R Ezekiel Lewis, Stringer, artist Tyla and Africa Creative Agency’s Colin Gayle discuss George Santos’ latest claim, that he’s really a new pop phenom from Tanzania.
Seen enjoying the relative lack of hot-chicken jokes are Sony Music Nashville Chairman/CEO Randy Goodman, country star Luke Combs, Stringer, manager Chris Kappy and SMN's Ken Robold and Taylor Lindsey.
The Orchard CEO Brad Navin, Norman Gyamfi of Tribl Records, gospel legend Kirk Franklin, Stringer and RCA Inspiration's Ron Hill scanned the room carefully and were relieved to find that, for the moment, we weren't there.
"When you're hefting a TV into a swimming pool," Sony Music Publishing supremo Jon Platt notes to Damiano and Tomas of Arista/Sony Latin rock troupe Måneskin, "it's important to take wind velocity into consideration." Later, David Massey bit the head off a bat but found it too al dente and sent it back.
Setting new standards for male sartorial elegance are Sony Music Publishing EVP, Head of A&R Walter Jones and VP, Creative Ian Holder, artist A$AP Ferg and the pubco's director creative, Jamin Whatley. In an unrelated story, a HITS editor spent four straight days in the same pair of workout pants.
Sony Publishing Nashville boss Rusty Gaston (r) wondered what kind of truck would best match his tux, while VP Creative Anna Weisband and artist Kelsea Ballerini wondered if they could get something to eat that didn't have kale in it.
Chart-topping RCA/TDE artist and Grammy presenter SZA and labelmate/Grammy fave H.E.R. collaborate on a photo that is exponentially cooler than we can ever hope to be.
