Interscope CEO On Signing J.J. Abrams’ Daughter Gracie To Label: “She’s Done This On Her Own Without Taking Any Shortcuts”


Gracie Abrams is a Grammy-nominated singer and the daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams and television producer Katie McGrath.

Although some may call Gracie a “nepo baby,” Interscope CEO John Janick shuts down the idea that her Hollywood ties played a part in being signed to the label. “She’s done this on her own without taking any of the shortcuts,” Janick told Billboard in an interview, noting he still hasn’t met Gracie’s parents. Gracie signed with Interscope in 2019 and has ascended in the music ranks since releasing her debut EP, Minor, in 2020, followed by This Is What It Feels Like in 2021.
