Dunn's exit follows nearly a decade with the company, where he was instrumental in shaping its creative divisions.
Toa Dunn, the longtime Head of Music at Riot Games, announced his departure from the company in February 2023. After a tenure spanning nearly a decade, Dunn exited to pursue new, undisclosed professional opportunities. His departure marks the end of a significant era for the company’s creative divisions, as he was instrumental in shaping the intersection of music, video games, esports, and multimedia content for the organization.
Dunn joined Riot Games in 2013, initially serving as a music development producer where he established production standards and refined contractual frameworks across the company’s ecosystem. By 2015, he transitioned into a development manager role, overseeing key projects such as the League of Legends Universe web portal. In 2016, he assumed the position of Head of Music, a role he held for over seven years. During this period, he was a primary architect behind the company’s expanded initiatives in music, television, and film, which significantly elevated the brand's presence in the entertainment industry.
The announcement, shared via social media, emphasized Dunn’s gratitude toward the community and his pride in the collaborative efforts that defined his time at the studio. While his specific future plans remain private, his exit represents a notable leadership change within the gaming industry’s entertainment sector, reflecting the ongoing evolution of talent and creative strategy at major game publishers.
