WARNER PROMOTES CORBETT-RICE

Shawnae Corbett-Rice, who joined Warner Records in 2018, has been promoted to senior vice president of marketing.

Based in downtown Los Angeles, she will report to recently appointed EVP of Marketing & Artist Development Dionnee Harper, who said, "Before I joined Warner, I admired from afar the super-creative work Shawnae was doing on breakout artists like Saweetie, Chika and NLE Choppa and developing acts like Baby Tate, Zzz and Kenzo B while championing the emerging Nigerian music scene with Pheelz and Omah Lay. She’s hugely passionate about her artists and the label, combined with deep industry experience, wide-ranging knowledge and out-of-the-box thinking. I’m very happy that Shawnae’s part of our dynamic new marketing structure.”

Corbett-Rice began her music-business career at Def Jam South/Disturbing tha Peace Records, joining Universal Music Group in 2006. While there she worked with Ludacris, Rick Ross, Fabolous and others.
