If your music career or business would be boosted by meeting with someone high up at Apple Music, then this is your lucky day. Three high-level executives at Apple’s music streaming service are auctioning off private meetings.

Proceeds from these auctions go to the Pablove Foundation, which invests in pediatric cancer research.

One option is Larry Jackson, the Global Creative Director of Apple Music. He helped launch the streaming service nearly five years ago. And he’s signed marketing and content deals with Drake, Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, DJ Khaled, Future, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and others. For the past three years, Billboard has ranked Jackson on its “Power 100.” In 2016, he was included on Billboard’s “40 Under 40” list.

Another executive auctioning off a 30-minute meeting for charity is Alexa Dedlow, Creative Producer, Artist Relations + Partnerships for Apple Music. She studied in Prague at the world-renown FAMU Film School, and went on to produce content for Comedy Central, STARZ, OWN and Interscope Records. Dedlow has created unique music and artist-driven content since the launch of Apple Music in 2015.

The third Apple Music executive auctioning a meeting is Denise Williams Watts, Global Head of Video Production, Content. She oversees the creation and development of short-form content including programmatic and short form mini documentaries. Watts is also a co-founder of Honorable Women in Media that celebrate women who work behind the scenes for some of biggest brands

Apple Music takes a meeting for charity

Charitybuzz is handling the meeting auctions with each of these Apple Music executives. Winners get 30 minutes of private time.

The meetings must take place in Los Angeles or Culver City, depending on the executive. Watts will only meet with one person, but the other winner can bring a friend/coworker. Meetings will be on a mutually agreed upon date before May 7, 2021. The three Charitybuzz auctions close on May 7, 2020.

Proceeds go to the Pablove Foundation. This seeks to improve the lives of children living with cancer through the arts, while also investing in underfunded, cutting-edge pediatric cancer research.
