LUKANZ TO LEAD AMAZON TEAM
5/9/22

Laura Lukanz will take over as Amazon Music’s new Head of Music Industry for the U.K., Australia & New Zealand, beginning 5/30.

The former First Access Entertainment EVP will lead the U.K., Australia & New Zealand industry teams, oversee label relations, artist relations, programming and editorial for the streaming service.

“There are moments that stand out in one’s career, and having Laura join the team will be one for me,” said Amazon Music Director Jillian Gerngross. “I have endless faith in her and the impact that she will have. She has an incredible track record of delivering for artists and creators across the music industry and her knowledge of U.K. audiences is second to none.”

While at FAE GRP, Lukanz was EVP of Artists, Writers and Producers and was responsible for record, publishing and management signings, label release campaigns and talent management in the U.K. Prior to that, she was the first female Head of Music at a national BBC digital network, BBC Radio 1Xtra. She launched her broadcast career as a pirate radio DJ in Manchester.
