About Talya:
As Co-Founder and CEO of Godmode, Talya Elitzer enables artists to alchemize vision into culture. Drawing on label and agency experience, she remains entwined with every aspect of the Los Angeles- based artist development company, record label, music publisher, and management collective. Hailing from Upstate New York, she embraced music as a kid, picking up piano at four-years-old. While attending Brandeis University, she landed an internship at William Morris Endeavor. Upon graduation, she rose through the ranks from the mailroom to a gig as a booking agent with the likes of Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Grace Jones, and LCD Soundsystem under her purview. Eventually, she moved over to Capitol Records where she worked in A&R on projects such as Beck’s Morning Phase and Katy Perry’s Prism. In 2017, she applied this acumen to the launch of Godmode with Co-Founder Nick Sylvester. The genesis of Godmode can be traced back to popular parties and gatherings in Brooklyn, but it evolved into a dynamic projection of what a modern music company can be. The collective gradually grew as it powered the rise of GRAMMY® Award-nominated Channel Tres and JPEGMAFIA with hundreds of millions of streams, sold-out tours, and widespread tastemaker praise. At the same time, the team introduced the likes of LoveLeo and Yaeji to audiences everywhere. 2021 saw Godmode build its publishing arm in partnership with Hipgnosis Songs Group, signing EMMY at the ground floor. Standing out among a handful of female CEOs in the industry, Talya's own accolades and journey have been chronicled by Variety, Authority Magazine, and Music Business Worldwide.
