Czarra will run Secretly’s North American radio department from the company’s Los Angeles office and oversee campaigns across the rosters of Secretly Group’s four record labels: Dead Oceans, Jagjaguwar, Saddest Factory Records and Secretly Canadian.

Czarra spent the past decade with Downtown Records as Senior Vice President, managing multiple departments and breaking songs from Chet Faker, Cold War Kids, Houses, Santigold and more at Triple A, Alternative and Non-comm radio.

In addition to landing Japanese Breakfast and Sharon Van Etten in the Top 5 Triple A, the team has also seen chart success with Kevin Morby, Faye Webster, Phoebe Bridgers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Khruangbin with Leon Bridges.

“I couldn’t be more excited and honored to join the Secretly team and work with their incredible roster of artists,” said Czarra. “Secretly Group’s impeccable taste and dedication to artist development is truly inspiring and I can’t wait to get started.”
