If behind every great man is a great woman then Sylvia Rhone is definetly amazing! Rap superstar Lil Wayne doesn’t hesitate to thank his boss, Ms. Rhone who is President of Universal Music Group’s Motown Records/ VP of Universal Records, for aiding in the breakout success of the Carter III, which sold over 1 million copies in its first week.
“He stayed connected and nurtured his audience,” said Sylvia Rhone, president of Universal Motown Records. “He was always working. And I think the rabid following he’s cultivated is reflected in those sales numbers.” Universal Motown is also responsible for heavy-hitting artists such as Stevie Wonder, India Arie, Akon, Erykah Badu, Ashanti and Nelly.
If you’re looking for success in the music industry then Sylvia Rhone is
more than a role model she is a living legacy. Ms. Rhone became the
first African American woman to command a major record company when
appointed as president/CEO of Atlantic Records division Eastwest Records
in 1990. In 1994, she was appointed as chairman/CEO of Elektra Records
where her roster included talent such as Missy Elliott, Metallica,
Fabolous and Yolanda Adams.
