In 2021, Grainge was named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list after his label produced “18 gold and eight platinum/multi-platinum singles that have accumulated a total of 22 billion streams.” While many might be inclined to attribute Grainge’s success to help from his father, Variety, a source that interviewed Grainge in 2019, says the executive “does things his own, very particular way.”
Theo Battaglia, who initially left HBO to come work with Grainge as head of marketing, shared with Variety that the music exec “marches to the beat of his own drummer, and has great success doing so.”
Grainge says he grew up as “a weird kid who used to read the music trades”
During his 2019 interview with Variety, Grainge admitted that he was “a weird kid” who spent much of his time watching his father excel in his career. Sadly, he had little time to spend with his mom, Samantha Berg, who passed away in 2007 after experiencing complications following his birth. Berg is said to have fallen into a coma after the birthing process and was unable to recover.
Although Grainge likely spends a great deal of time focusing on running his independent label, he also has a private life. In Jan. 2021, sources began speculating Grainge was dating Richie, and in April of that year, Richie began posting intimate photos of the two together.
After a few more months, Richie’s photos further confirmed that the two were a couple. Fast forward to May 2022, and now Richie and Grainge are happily engaged. Richie shared the moment via Instagram with the following caption: “Forever isn’t long enough @elliot.”
