Today (Sept. 18), Warner Music Canada announced the appointment of Lisa Grossi to the position of Director, National Radio Promotion & Media Relations.

Grossi joins the company from Bell Media, where she served as the National Music Director for Virgin Radio & Move Radio, as well as Music Director & Assistant Program Director for CHUM 104.5. She becomes the first woman ever to lead Warner Music Canada’s promotion department.


“Music is my passion. I live and breathe it," Grossi says. "Growing up, it was my dream to work for a record label and I am so excited that this is now a reality. I’m thrilled to join Warner Music Canada to help break new artists and have continued success with their roster of established artists."

Grossi has over 18 years of experience as a radio programmer, and the label heralds her appointment as a step to bring "Warner Music Canada's radio team into the future."

Madelaine Napoleone, Vice President of Marketing, says “Lisa is a highly respected leader in the radio industry, bringing a fresh perspective on how we can enhance our partnership with radio both now and in the future. I'm also proud to share that with her appointment, we are the only major label in Canada to have an all-female radio team.”

Lisa Grossi was recently celebrated in the Industry Spotlight of Billboard Canada Women in Music. She gave this advice to the next generation of women in the industry: “Trust your gut. Speak your truth. Be authentic. Always give your honest opinion even if it's not the popular opinion.”

That advice has led her into new terrain as she moves into the new role at Warner.

Coldplay Calls Rogers Stadium 'A Very Bizarre Stadium a Million Miles From Earth' at Second Toronto Concert

In their second of four shows on Tuesday night (July 8), the British band said "we are testing the premise, 'if you build it they will come.' But their majestic Music of the Spheres show also showed off the new venue's unique strengths.

Coldplay took the stage for the second of four concerts at Rogers Stadium in Toronto on Tuesday night (July 8), which also held the distinction of being the third overall show at the brand new 50,000-capacity Downsview venue.

If you ask Live Nation Canada's President of Music, Erik Hoffman, they are also one of the major reasons it was built. In their first two shows, though, Chris Martin hasn't exactly had flattering things to say about it. On night one, he called it a "weird stadium in the middle of nowhere," and he went even further on the second night calling the venue a "very bizarre stadium a million miles from Earth."
