Kevin Liles, Founder & CEO at 300 Entertainment, delivers his keynote address at A2IM's Indie Week 2018.

Kevin Liles is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of 300 Entertainment, a strategic technology based entertainment company and record label featuring established up and coming artists such as Young Thug, Coheed and Cambria, Highly Suspect, Tee Grizzly and more. Liles has one of the most storied careers in entertainment, rising from unpaid intern in 1991 to President of Def Jam Recordings by 1998.

During his seven-year tenure as President, revenues doubled to $400 million. Liles was instrumental in the leap of artists from “performer” to “global brand” among many of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B including Jay Z, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, LL Cool J, and Ludacris. In 2004, Liles joined Warner Music Group as Executive Vice President and served on the executive team that took WMG public. He led WMG’s innovative “360-degree” strategy, expanding the limits of an artist’s career, while also trailblazing a way forward for recording companies as a business model formerly built around CD sales underwent dramatic erosion.
