Lindi DeGrant shared thisThis was a great experience with 11 Ounces. True pros in the biz that were able to bring this vision to life. Working with new products isn’t always easy but when you have the right team in place to guide and troubleshoot, you will be set up for success!Lindi DeGrant shared thisTo close out women's history month, we’re taking a look back at the Rolling Stone Radio Show on Amazon Music’s live radio app #Amp that we directed and produced featuring the ubiquitous Ice Spice. Hear the Bronx bombshell, and the new Princess of Rap, explain to host Jon Weigell how a couple of Queen MC's helped to pave the way for her meteoric rise in #hiphop . Amp gives creators the power to run the airwaves. The mobile app provides everyone with the tools to pick up the mic, create a playlist, and host their own live radio show. We launched Rolling Stone’s weekly radio show on Amp last year, producing 8 episodes on the new platform featuring artist from Smino, Alex Isley, Bas, Masego, Westside Boogie, RexxLife Raj, Jean Deaux and Ice Spice Watch Smino discuss his life in 10 songs here: https://lnkd.in/eRt5AWzK https://lnkd.in/eUp6mpqC S/o: Lindi DeGrant Eric Daniel Horn Tom Fama #Artist #rollingstone #amazonmusic #OnAmp #Content #music #musicnews #liveproduction #liveradio #womenshistorymonth #womenempowermentWith her My Life in 10 Songs, Ice Spice Remains Unapologetically HerselfWith her My Life in 10 Songs, Ice Spice Remains Unapologetically Herself

Lindi DeGrant shared thisGentle reminder for those of us that are often the “only” in the room!Lindi DeGrant shared thisThere have been and continues to be times when I am the “only” one in the room - only woman, only black woman and/or only mom. And while I have earned every single seat in my career, it’s taken time to grow into confidently being at the table. So I can’t stress this advice enough. Yes be humble and a great listener but also ask the question that everyone can learn from and share the random good idea before someone else does. Thank you Captivate, LLC for selecting me to participate in this year’s Women in Business series. It was a great accomplishment to bring this initiative to life as a team member and to now be featured is a pretty cool honor. #womenshistorymonth #womeninbusiness

Lindi DeGrant shared thisMy 2022 Rolling Stone Branded Content Program Highlights Client: Audible Program: Leveraging Rolling Stone’s unique position at the intersection of music and culture and our crown-jewel editorial platform, Musicians on Musicians, our brands will marry both storytelling and music in support of Audible’s Words + Music. Print: Back cover shoot with John Legend + Common Digital: 2x Breakthrough artists sharing their story while highlighting W+M artist volumes Pro Tip: Talent preparation is key, especially when speaking on brand products. While some talent is able to shine through no matter what, don’t rely on that alone. It’s okay to double and triple check with talent management that all materials have been received and reviewed by talent. Capturing a good interview and solid brand beats helps guide a smooth post-production. FINNEAS https://lnkd.in/eHhAFFVc Suki Waterhouse https://lnkd.in/ezVeig9w Client: Curaleaf/Select Program: Create a digital immersive chronically, 50 year of cannabis moments Pro Tip: Legal is your best friend. I know everyone is afraid to talk to legal because you never want to hear no, but if it’s no it’s for a reason and anytime you are working brands like cannabis, pharma and even alcohol you always want to get that yes from legal before you start spinning your wheels, during creation and the final green light for launch! https://lnkd.in/e7_3HGKE Client: Amp Program: Launch Rolling Stone Radio, a weekly live show hosted by Jon Weigell & Charlie Cooper, that brings good times and great tunes to fans through engaging content, exclusive artist interviews, and specially curated selections of music Pro Tip: New Apps are tricky. When hosting content on a new platform be ready to trouble shoot. You want to make sure your host and guest talent know the functionality of the platform and your production team is fluent in backend tech jargon (shout out to 11 Ounces). Not everyone can communicate to a developer/engineer, its key to have someone on the team that is!

Lindi DeGrant shared thisThis is a reminder to support the Black women in your organization. 🖤Lindi DeGrant shared thisLooking for “something to do” for #BlackHistoryMonth ? 🖤 Support the Black Women in your organization 🖤 “Compared to other women at their level, Black women leaders are more likely to have colleagues question their competence and to be subjected to demeaning behavior—and one in three Black women leaders says they’ve been denied or passed over for opportunities because of personal characteristics, including their race and gender. Frustratingly, Black women also ranked dead last in their experience of manager support—managers showing interest in their career, checking in on their well-being and promoting inclusion—as compared to other identities including men, all women, LGBTQ women, women with disabilities, white women, Asian women and Latinas. Similarly, Black women ranked near last in experiencing sponsorship and allyship as well as psychological safety. The truth is that we don’t need another report detailing what we already know. Workplace experience and professional success in many ways remain stubbornly tethered to both gender and race leaving Black women relegated to the bottom of the corporate caste system. Blackness and femaleness have never been sources of systemic advantage in corporate spaces. The disparities and inequities have long been proven. Now we need the moral fortitude and collective will to actually do something about it.” — Forbes

Lindi DeGrant posted thisToday was my last day at Peloton Interactive, as I was one of 2,800 talented employees laid off. While my time was short, my ride at Peloton was one I enjoyed! As Sr Project Manager for Environmental Design, the work produced was thoughtful and fueled with passion but most importantly I had the opportunity to work along side some really amazing humans. As I go into this next phase of my career with optimism and excitement, I look forward to what’s next! With over 18 years experience in managing high-touch, multi-platform campaign executions for some of the worlds top brands, I'm confident that my next role will allow me to leverage all of the experiences I've had thus far to make even more of an impact, produce even more great work, and that I will be able to leverage the phenomenal community I've built here on LinkedIn and beyond to find my right match. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any leads! #opentonewopportunities #Peloton #togetherwegofar

Lindi DeGrant liked thisLindi DeGrant liked thisThis weekend I deejayed the WME Oscar party at Chateau Marmont. 🥂 The garden was filled with Oscar nominees, A-list actors, NFL players, Olympic medalists — the kind of room where conversations matter as much - if not more - than the music. My job wasn't to get everyone on the dance floor - although we definitely had that going on as well. It was to set a vibe that elevated every moment without competing with it. There's an art to knowing when to push energy and when to pull back. When to let a song breathe. When the room needs texture, not tempo. A good DJ reads the room. But a great DJ also knows what kind of room they're in. Some nights you're there to make people move. Other nights you're there to make people feel something while they talk, connect, and celebrate. Saturday night at Chateau Marmont was the latter. Perfect vibes for various perfect moments. (Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't slip into a Big Daddy Kane / Brooklyn set right when Chris Rock walked by. Some things you just have to do. 😂) Grateful to the amazing team at WME | William Morris Endeavor for trusting me with such a special evening. And congrats to Michael B. Jordan on his Oscar win - I wrote a fun little Substack about his creative journey to this point. Link in comments.
