Using Booking Agent Info’s music industry directory, we researched the management companies and music managers behind this year’s Grammy-nominated artists, and one thing is clear: the landscape is quite spread out, with no single company dominating.
Leading the pack is Red Light Management with 7 nominees. This isn’t new territory for them, as they also led last year. Their impressive roster includes Grammy favorites like Brittany Howard, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, and Rhiannon Giddens.
Sharing the second spot this year are Q Prime and Good World, each with 5 nominees. Q Prime, which ranked third last year, represents artists like Brothers Osborne, Cage the Elephant, and David Rawlings.
Meanwhile, Good World has an equally star-studded roster, managing Mark Ronson, Ariana Grande, and Charli XCX.
SalXCo stands strong with 4 nominees, representing some of the biggest names in music, including The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign, and Metro Boomin .
Several management companies boast 3 nominees each, including Vector Management, Fullstop Management, Sandbox Management, and Silva Artist Management.
Vector’s lineup features Michael McDonald and Charley Crockett, while Fullstop represents stars like Madison Beer and Anderson .Paak
Sandbox shines with Dan + Shay and Kacey Musgraves, and Silva Artist Management represents Norah Jones and St. Vincent
The spread of nominations across so many management firms highlights the diverse nature of artist representation at the highest level.
We only highlighted artists, and excluded some categories including global music, jazz, new age, and producer categories.
