Read Billboard‘ s full profile on executive of the year Tim Hinshaw here.Įxecutive vp, Def Jam Recordings president, 4th & BroadwayĮxecutive vp/chief creative officer, Def Jam RecordingsĮxecutive vp of promotion and artist relations, Def Jam RecordingsĪ return to creative and cultural leadership has been the focus at Def Jam since Balogun began his tenure in January. “Tim has put Amazon Music into the conversation in the hip-hop and R&B community in a massive way,” says Boom, “and in a way, frankly speaking, we were not.” The close relationships and credibility he has within the artist community - developed over the course of 13 years working in management and artist relations roles - along with a penchant for innovation and a personality that Amazon Music vp Steve Boom calls “super smart, genuine and incredibly humble” have all allowed Hinshaw and the team he has built to elevate Amazon Music’s hip-hop & R&B division into a global leader in the genre. But it was also an apt advertisement for the talents that would help Hinshaw succeed long term at the company. Hinshaw edited the clips together, then passed the supercut to Amazon - an effort, he says, “to show the breadth of my relationships, from the current generation to the legends.” The promo worked: Within a few weeks, Hinshaw was hired as Amazon Music’s senior manager of hip-hop artist relations and within a year, he was promoted to head of hip-hop & R&B.

The video closes with the late Mac Miller playing a white grand piano, then turning to the camera to implore: “Hire Tim. You need him on your squad.” “Tim is a good dude, and he knows what he’s doing!” Scarface adds before noting that he himself is an Amazon Prime member. This is Donald Glover/Childish Gambino saying you should probably hire Tim,” the multihyphenate star says, winking at the camera. While angling for a position in the hip-hop & R&B division of Amazon Music in 2018, Hinshaw recruited a few old friends to record themselves hyping him up.
