Firebird-backed Mick Management partners with Jazz Sherman's Hunger Management

Boutique artist management company/record label Mick Management has formed a new partnership with Hunger Management. 

“This strategic alliance will bring together two dynamic music teams, highlighting a shared vision by both companies in providing their artists with diverse and impactful career opportunities on a broader global scale,” said a statement. 

The partnership will allow both companies to tap into varied services for artists on both rosters, as well as raising Hunger Management’s profile in the US and providing access to a strategic infrastructure of resources for their roster, while expanding Mick Management’s footprint in the UK music landscape.

Mick Management has an existing alliance with Firebird Music Holdings as an investment partner. Hunger Management will now join an ecosystem of partners who reach an estimated global audience of more than one billion fans, according to the announcement.  

Firebird’s team serves as a resource for artists, labels and management companies, providing skills and capital to help artists expand their global reach. 

Launched in 2019 by UK artist manager Jazz Sherman, Hunger Management’s roster includes indie pop-rock singer/songwriter Alessi Rose, whose EP Voyeur comes out July 25 on Capitol Records. Rose is currently supporting Dua Lipa on the European leg of her Radical Optimism Tour and will embark on her own European tour this autumn, as well as opening for Tate McRae on her US arena tour. 

Other artists with Hunger include Gracey and Anne-Marie.
