Description
Summary:The executive takes a holistic approach to A&R, whether collaborating on songwriting and production with artists likeBeyoncé ("Ring Off"), Kanye West ("Hell of a Life") and David Guetta ("Where Them Girls At"); signing artists and overseeing their recordings; or helping them get their businesses off the ground under the umbrella of his company, Artist Partners Group. APG, which grew from Caren's Artist Publishing Group in 2013, essentially acts as a supercharged label-services division for artist imprints like rapper Kevin Gates' Bread Winners Association (whose Islah album debuted at No. 2 on the Feb. 20 Billboard 200), R&B singer Kehlani's Tsunami Mob (which released her Grammy Awardnominated You Should Be Here), a forthcoming venture from Charlie Puth (whose Nine Track Mind is at No. 6 on the Billboard 200) and more to come.
