Tommy Nappi Leaving Elektra Music Group
• RAMP has confirmed that longtime promotion pro Tommy Nappi will be moving on from the Elektra Music Group to pursue new opportunities, effective May. 1.
In a staff memo, Mike Easterlin, Co-President of Elektra Music Group, remarked, “While it’s disappointing to see him go, Tommy is one of the best in the business and I know he’ll continue to do great things. I began working with Tommy when he joined the Roadrunner promotion staff as Vice President of Pop Promotion in 2012. He was subsequently elevated to Senior Vice President of Pop/Dance Promotion before making the transition over to the Elektra Music Group upon its launch in 2018. Some of his many promotion highlights include #1 records at Pop from Charli XCX, Panic! At The Disco, Clean Bandit, and Twenty One Pilots, along with five #1 records from Joel Corry at Dance.”
Easterlin continued, “Tommy has played a pivotal role in our success, beginning at Roadrunner and now Elektra Music Group, and I can’t thank him enough. He truly understands modern day promotion — whether its analyzing research or breaking down streaming figures or interpreting shazam data — and brings an unparalleled passion that has resulted in a track record of scoring hits that speaks for itself. I wish him all the best in this next chapter.”
