Who is Elliot Grainge?
Grainge is a record executive who was raised in the UK. As the son of Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, he grew up as an insider in the music industry.
In 2009, Elliot relocated to the United States and attended Northeastern University in Boston, where he earned his bachelor of arts and science degree.
After graduation, he relocated to Los Angeles to be near his family and make a mark in the music industry — without his father’s help.
Elliot launched his own record label
Elliot launched 10K Projects record label in 2017 by signing rappers Trippie Redd and Tekashi 6ix9ine.
According to Forbes, the label has had 18 gold and eight platinum and multi-platinum singles that have accumulated more than 22 billion streams.
Elliot is obsessed with Eminem
In a 2019 interview with PvNew, Elliot admitted that he was “obsessed” with Eminem and thought the “Stan” rapper was the “coolest thing in the world.”
“If you look at the streaming data and analytics over the past six years, you’ll see anyone under 28 around the world has been raised on hip-hop,” he said. “It’s a lifestyle, a culture, as rock once was for another generation.
“And I believe it was Eminem who took it to the next step in terms of global reach.”
How did Elliot meet Sofia?
Elliot and Sofia were friends long before they began dating in 2021.
Entertainment Tonight previously reported that the music guru and the fashion designer were “friends for years” and said that he is close with Sofia’s brother, Miles.
Elliot proposed to Sofia in April 2022
Elliot popped the question to Sofia at the Four Seasons Hualalai after one year of dating. For the special moment, the couple was surrounded by white flowers and candles that were provided by Uhi Uhi Flower House on Kona Island.
