Peter Gray, a seven-year veteran of Warner Bros. Records who in 2016 was named the label’s executive VP and head of radio promotion, is exiting the company, Variety has confirmed. His departure, due to come in October, comes ahead of a contract expiration.
“I had an awesome run at Warner Bros and a great time working with Tom [Corson] at two labels,” Gray tells Variety. “It couldn’t be more gentlemanly and the right timing. Tom has a great company to run and an excellent promotion team. I’m going to take a breath before making my next move.”
The news comes six months after Tom Corson moved to the Warner Music Group label in Burbank from New York where he was COO of RCA. Gray too had come from RCA to Wbr in 2011 after rising to senior VP of promotion.
Warner Bros. has been on a radio roll this year.
