Considered the most powerful woman at Sony Music, Rhone has always soared to the top. Hailing from Harlem, she praises her thick skin for some of her success.

Starting in finance, she decided to join the music scene and has had the pleasure of overseeing the careers of Missy Elliott, Brandy, and MC Lyte. This year she was promoted to chairman and CEO of Epic Records. All hail this queen and pioneer.
