Working alongside Amy Tettey who will be working as Managing Director, Jacqueline Eyewe who is taking the role of the Marketing Director and Char Grant as the A&R Director, the team is enriched with decades of industry experience behind them. Alec, who has spent seven years at Warner Music, and more recently as the co-head of A&R at Atlantic, is joined alongside his twin brother Alex who’s had 10 years at Universal Music UK, as well as being the president of Island Records’ first Urban Division.

Jeff Harleston, the interim Chairman & CEO of Def Jam Recordings said; “It is a perfect fit having Alex and Alec at the helm of 0207 Def Jam.
