Joel Crouse Signs Management, Publishing Deals With Iconic Entertainment Group

Iconic Entertainment Group (IEG) has signed Joel Crouse to an artist management and publishing deal. The IEG roster also includes Kelsea Ballerini and Levi Hummon.

Crouse formerly recorded for Show Dog-Universal. He released the Top 40 country single “If You Want Some” in 2013, followed by an album in 2014. His new music will take a “harder-rock” direction, according to the management company. In addition to writing on his own, Crouse has been writing with Desmond Child, Marti Frederiksen, Lincoln Parris and Jeffrey Steele.

Born in Massachusetts, Crouse began writing songs at age 16, signed his first recording deal at 19 and honed his live chops on the road, even selected to open shows on Taylor Swift’s RED Tour.

“Joel is a bona fide star,” says IEG President/CEO Fletcher Foster. “He pours limitless energy and passion into his live shows. He is a true lover of all kinds of music and it’s exciting to watch as he melds them together to create his own distinctive sound. And that’s why we’re proud to welcome him to the IEG roster.”

“As Iconic celebrates its second year, we are excited to sign someone as talented as Joel as we continue to expand into a multi-genres entertainment company,” says IEG Chairman Larry Beckwith.
