Prince Rogers Nelson Alumni Association President with Jacqui Thompson

Musicians Reveal

In the late ’90s at Prince’s creative home base Paisley Park, Jacqui Thompson helped create one of the music industry’s first standalone distribution channels for an independent artist; Prince’s NPG Records, which sold 250,000 records directly to the consumer, resulting in $12.5M in revenue, while overseeing all aspects of merchandising for international sales for the global icon.

As CEO of new Sonoma, California record label, Love Conquered Records, she runs many of the day-to-day operations while also still working in both artist and brand management. She is also the founder and current President of the 501(c)3 non-profit, PRN Alumni Foundation, which seeks to continue Prince’s philanthropic legacy in tribute to her former boss who inspired her professionally and personally.
