DOONEY BATTLE

As a co-founder of Tha Lights Global and CEO and founder of TLG Ventures, I dedicate myself to providing entrepreneurs from all backgrounds the resources to achieve long term success in the industry. Take it from me, as one of the leading music executives in the industry, I’ve helped artists such as Lil Pump sign historic multi-million dollar deals. I’m known for having a keen eye for talent and turning viral popularity into success. I’ve been featured in magazines like Variety, Billboard, Music Business Worldwide, Revolt TV, and more. I’ve helped catalyzed viral popularity into immense success and cultural cache for talent such as Lil TerRio, Alex From Target, 5QUAD, and Rayy Dubb. I also launched the TLG Tour with partners CAA and LiveNation and became an advisor for NFL superstar DeSean Jackson. In 2015, I shepherded Zay Hilfigerr and Zayion McCall to the top of the charts with the double-platinum Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 “Juju on That Beat.” In 2016, I met Lil Pump and assumed management duties. Under my guidance, Pump arrived as one of the hottest stars in the world with a historic multi-million dollar deal with Warner Records, over a dozen platinum and gold certifications, billions of streams, more than 17 million Instagram followers, and worldwide notoriety. I also locked a highly publicized deal for Dominic Fike with Columbia Records. In 2020, I launched TLG Academy as a groundbreaking launchpad for up-and-coming artists. Beyond live song reviews, it encompasses one-on-one guidance and a comprehensive two-week bootcamp.
