Music exec Kevin Liles announces his departure from 300 Entertainment...
From Billboard
Kevin Liles will step down from his role as chairman and CEO of 300 Entertainment at the end of September, the respected executive announced on Tuesday (Sept. 17).
In an internal note to staff obtained by Billboard, Liles said he would be departing as CEO of the Warner Music-owned label at the end of the month but staying on as a consultant through the year. WMG CEO Robert Kyncl called Liles an “extraordinary brand-builder, artist advocate, and champion of creative expression,” adding that the role would not be filled once Liles steps down.
Liles, Lyor Cohen, Todd Moscowitz and Roger Gold launched 300 in 2015 and quickly gained recognition and influence for signing and developing future hip-hop superstars including Megan Thee Stallion, Gunna, Migos, Fetty Wap and Young Thug, among others. In 2021, the label was acquired by Warner Music Group, which later incorporated it into the Atlantic Music Group by forming the 300 Elektra Entertainment Group in 2022.
