Elizabeth Marshall

Liz is Billboard’s senior finance correspondent, covering all things money in the music business. She is drawn to stories that help readers understand the economics at play for artists today — such as how much money Charli XCX earned from brat summer — and that highlight the financial industry’s influence on artists and music, such as the global private equity giant Blackstone’s growing portfolio of music companies and catalogs. Before Billboard, Liz spent a decade covering Wall Street, the U.S. banking system and investing for the international newswire Reuters. She studied journalism with a focus on international relations at Indiana University and Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. She has worked as a journalist in China, Kenya, and Canada, in addition to the United States. Liz grew up in Gary, Ind., the hometown of the Jacksons, and currently lives in Manhattan.
