As the legendary publicist for music heavyweights Usher, Mariah Carey and Erykah Badu, Chris Chambers knows every move you make counts. He’s made the right moves himself, skyrocketing from his early days as an assistant in the public relations department to the orbit of A-list entertainment and Hollywood. After a groundbreaking career at Sony and Arista Records, Chambers created his own lane in the upper echelons of PR and founded one of the few Black owned publicity firms. The Chamber Group has music at its core – boasting clients like Saweetie, Big Sean and Teyana Taylor – as well as brand partnerships with Versace, Red Bull, Valentino, and the National Black Theatre. When you see Usher or Badu on the cover of Vogue, know that Chambers is influencing how we see Black culture and ourselves in media. — J.S.M.
