“Larry and I are like a one-two punch,” says Saint John, Billboard‘s 2016 Women in Music Executive of the Year. Indeed, their tag-team efforts — securing streaming exclusives for high-profile releases by Drake, DJ Khaled, Chance the Rapper and Frank Ocean, plus locking in star-studded marketing campaigns featuring Drake, Taylor Swift and Mary J. Blige — have catapulted Apple Music to 20 million subscribers since its June 2015 launch.
