Inside the Playbook: Amber Grimes on The Mistake Every Music Executive Makes

In this clip from The Manager’s Playbook, Mauricio Ruiz sits down with Amber Grimes, EVP, GM, and partner at Love Renaissance (LVRN), to talk about self-advocacy, asking questions, and learning the business without pretending to know everything.

Amber shares how asking for help changed the way she negotiated contracts, understood stock compensation, talked about pay, and recognized her own value in rooms where those lessons are not always taught.

The conversation also gets into cultural confidence, executives of colour advocating for themselves, using every tool available, adapting to new platforms, and staying optimistic in a music business that keeps changing.

A must-listen for aspiring music executives, artist managers, independent artists, and anyone building a career in the music business.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
