ALEX KAMINS

Senior vp of new business and ventures

/// Warner Music Group

Kamins leads the WMG team that oversees Web3 strategy and venturecapital investing. Last March brought a partnership with STYNGR, which helps gaming companies license tracks from the label’s catalog; in June came a partnership with Songclip, which makes searching for music clips easier on social media. Kamins also works with gaming giant Roblox, in which WMG invested eight figures last year; WMG’s twenty one pilots performed a virtual concert on the platform that drew 13 million views last September. “We are on the verge of a new golden age in the music industry,” says Kamins, 37, referring to the emerging metaverse and Web3 ventures that “allow artists to better incentivize their superfans.”
