Right place, right time. That’s how Grace James explains her start in the music industry.

When Gina Tucci’s musician and producer father would present work to A&R at labels, at times they would "rip apart the records.” But Tucci had an unexpected reaction to observing this. “After a while, I kind of realized, that’s kind of cool...you get to listen to music all day and pick apart the songs to make them better.”It’s that spirit for critique and exploration that’s led Tucci to her current positions of Big Beat Records General Manager and a Vice President of A&R at Atlantic Records. Listen in as she details her path through the music industry, including what advice she’d give to young music professionals, and how she got involved with her “first big record ever”: B.o.B’s “Airplanes.”This is the story of Gina Tucci.

From the very beginning, Pete Ganbarg loved music. He listened to everything he could get his hands on. He pored over copies of Billboard Magazine, starting at age 13. And he learned about the process of curation through DJ gigs. If people danced to his selection, that was a hit. Meanwhile, “if people gave me the finger and walked out of the room, that means it wasn't a hit.” Talk about getting the crash course. Now, with the self-imposed label of “professional listener” and the official title of President of A&R at Atlantic Records, Ganbarg uses a “genre agnostic” approach to both finding new artists and creatively supporting the ones on the Atlantic roster. This is the story of Pete Ganbarg.
