In the inaugural episode of UnAssociated, host Avi Olitzky sits down with Allison Kaye, a leading music and entertainment executive whose career spans entertainment law, global music management, and leadership roles at SB Projects and HYBE America. Allison traces her path from law school to the forefront of the global music industry, where she has helped manage world-class artists including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and BTS. The conversation explores the role of trust, community, and strategic leadership in high-stakes creative environments, as well as the personal and professional lessons Allison learned while navigating moments of profound crisis, including the aftermath of the Manchester terrorist attack. She also shares insights on bridging American and Korean music markets and reflects on the often-overlooked but essential role associations and nonprofits play in supporting artists, audiences, and the broader industry.
