While Avery gamely points out the show is always exciting, Monte says they definitely have some artists of their own they'll be rooting for specifically: "This year it's Drake, just because he's nominated for six, including Album of the Year, plus the Weeknd is going to perform. "It's the one you go to where you take your tie off and enjoy yourselves," Walk says. And Republic Records' own after-party for the Grammys will be a highlight. "For me personally, I'm very excited about the Lorde Music Listening Session, playing some music to the community in a studio on Friday, which will be fantastic, and then Friday night we have a new artist showcase, Class of 2017, at a place called No Name that we'll have the industry come out to-only 125 handpicked people," Walk says. With the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on the horizon, Republic Records will be a large presence over the course of the awards weekend.

Still, the room has his personal touch throughout, including a handmade vegetable-dyed rug, a painting made for him by singer John Mellencamp, and a plaque from his first job as Clive Davis's assistant at Arista Records. "I actually inherited this space, so when I came in here, I didn't have a whole lot to do," he says. Avery Lipman's office, in comparison to the brightness of Walk's, is a gale of masculinity, with its heavy wood furniture and dark wall hangings. ![]()
