Talya Elitzer and Godmode, where music meets visionary strategy. As the CEO and co-founder of Godmode, Talya has carved a path beyond traditional A&R. She champions a disruptive, artist-first model that rejects the one-size-fits-all label approach. Instead, she builds immersive, sustainable creative universes for artists like Channel Tres, JPEGMAFIA, Lizzy McAlpine, SG Lewis, and Yaeji. Talya’s journey began delivering mail at WME, rising through the ranks to A&R at Capitol Records, where she worked with stars such as Katy Perry, Sam Smith, and Beck. These experiences fueled her belief that traditional labels often operate like venture capitalists betting on trends rather than nurturing artists from the ground up.
