Under Weaver’s tenure, Atlantic has curated and released some of the most culturally relevant and successful soundtracks of the last several years, including Barbie The Album, Twisters The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad The Album, F7 and, most recently, F1: The Album.
“Kevin has spearheaded a remarkable series of era-defining projects, creating powerful opportunities for Atlantic’s artists while helping make the label the go-to partner for creators and brands looking to make an impact,” Grainge said in a statement. “With him now stepping into this central role, all of Atlantic Music Group will benefit from his unrivaled expertise, relationships, and passion. Zach [Friedman], Tony [Talamo], and I are proud to appoint him to this well-deserved new post.”
Weaver joined Atlantic Records in 1994 and has held a number of positions including executive vp, president of film & television, and, most recently, president, west coast since 2017, as he helped expand the label’s bicoastal footprint.
He has received two Grammy Awards as album producer in the best compilation soundtrack for visual media for Boardwalk Empire and Barbie The Album. He’s worked on a number of other Grammy-nominated albums, including for Daisy Jones & The Six, True Blood, Vinyl and Girls.
“Atlantic has been my home for three decades, and the opportunity to continue helping define the legacy of this extraordinary company and its artists is incredibly meaningful to me,” Weaver said in a statement. “I’m deeply grateful to Elliot, Zach and Tony for their trust and support, and I’m excited to continue helping shape the future of AMG alongside such a committed and talented group of leaders. We have a truly unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to keep pushing boundaries and creating new opportunities for our artists, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future of AMG.”
