Who is Elliot Grainge?
Early life and education
Elliot was born on November 6, 1993, and his early life was marked by grief. Samantha Berg, his mother, went into a coma after suffering an amniotic fluid embolism while giving birth to him. She never recovered and died in 2007. His father is Lucian Grainge, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, who remarried Caroline Grainge in 2001.
Elliot's family relocated to the United States in 2009, when he was 16, because of his father's profession. He stayed for college, attending Northeastern before moving on to Boston University to study sociology and economics. After graduating, he returned to Los Angeles.
Career as a music executive
In 2016, Grainge founded 10K Projects, an independent record label based in LA. His label has signed artists such as rappers Iann Dior and Tekashi 6ix9ine, as well as the beach pop band Surfaces. Grainge discovered some of his label's musicians on SoundCloud, referring to the internet distribution network as a "cheat sheet" for discovering new talent. Caroline Records, which is part of Universal Music Group, distributes artists signed to Grainger's 10K Projects.
In October 2019, Grainge's 10K Projects struck a partnership with music producer Taz Taylor's creative group Internet Money Records. In June 2020, it launched 10K Together, a charitable component of 10K Projects that focuses on donating to racial justice groups and black-owned businesses. Grainge's company purchased the music label Homemade Projects in February 2022.
