Susan Genco

Co-president, The Azoff Company

Genco is co-president of The Azoff Company alongside Elizabeth Collins (see page 106). The company’s Iconic Artists Group, which has acquired stakes in the rights of legacy acts such as The Beach Boys, David Crosby and Linda Ronstadt, “has grown into a safe haven for influential artists who value legacy preservation in addition to monetization,” says Genco. Full Stop Management “has led the way in touring, safely bringing the music of Harry Styles, the Eagles, Maroon 5, Earth, Wind & Fire and more to their fans.” The music licensing division Global Music Rights “continues to offer the best transparent service to its incredible roster of songwriters, from Drake and Lizzo to Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars,” Genco says. She also notes that the Music Artists Coalition, co-founded in 2019 by Irving Azoff, Coren Capshaw, John Silva and others, has joined forces with other artist advocacy groups “to protect artists,” she says. “After all, without them, none of us would have jobs.”
