Spotlight: How Interscope Records’ Caroline Diaz helped make DaBaby a 'Rockstar' and became an A&R VP at 25
Diaz says she never had a plan B: “I was going to make this work. I have a very dominant personality. When I walk into a room, I demand attention and respect. I’m here to work.”finding artists that I can personally connect with. I want to be able to love the artist, love the music. I have to be passionate about both. As I get older, I just want to wake up and still be able to say, “I can’t wait to work with someone,” as I’m saying now with Ann Marie and DaBaby.
I also want to help other young women who want to work in music and become executives in A&R and other areas.... Women who may also come from the hood and not have a chance to go to college; who don’t have anybody that believes in them. A bunch of people didn't believe in me. They were like, “You’ll never be in A&R; you’ll never have the opportunity.” I was supposed to be pregnant right now and living at my mom's house. But now I’m in L.A. living my dream.
