The Manager’s Playbook 042: Nick Jarjour - Rihanna, Kanye West, Starrah, Max Martin, Songwriter Rights, Mental Health, Artist Advocacy, Hipgnosis, Blockchain & The Business of Music

Nick Jarjour has built his career around one mission: protecting the storytellers.

From managing Starrah, the songwriter behind Rihanna’s “Needed Me,” to executive producing In Whose Name, one of the highest-grossing documentaries in recent years, Nick has always stood at the intersection of creativity, leadership, and responsibility.

In this episode of The Manager’s Playbook, Nick opens up about his journey from a young songwriter to becoming one of the most respected executives in the business. He shares what it means to lead with empathy, how mental health fuels creativity, and why protecting artists, writers, and filmmakers isn’t just good leadership. It’s good business.

We dive into his work with Hipgnosis Songs Fund and his mission to revalue songwriters, his philosophy around morals, values, and principles (MVP), and his perspective on the future of music through AI, blockchain, and innovation.

This is a conversation about purpose, partnership, and the power of standing for the people who make culture possible.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
