Phil Guerini has joined Dreamcatcher Management to focus on Callista Clark’s career development.

Formerly a Disney Channels Worldwide Music Strategy executive and CEO of Jonas Group Entertainment, Guerini brings a lifetime of music business experience, including supporting the career launches of Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Luke Combs, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Kelsea Ballerini, among others.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Powell Hedley and Dreamcatcher Management in this exciting endeavor. At just 21, Callista is already one of country music’s most dynamic voices—blending striking vocal maturity with deeply resonant songwriting,” says Guerini. “Having recently spent time with Callista and listening to the music she’s preparing to release, I think she’s not only a rising star, but someone who will quickly move to the head of the class and is ready to step boldly into her next chapter.”

Clark has also signed with Matt Payne and Powell Hedley’s Tonight We Make History Publishing. John Strohm is legal counsel for Clark, and will also oversee career development alongside Dreamcatcher executives.

“We are blessed to have Callista as a client across management, recorded music and publishing,” says Hedley, Dreamcatcher CEO. “It takes a village to make magic happen. When she delivered ‘Tell the Truth’ and Ross knocked the production out of the park, we knew it was time to rise to the occasion. This brain trust of top music executives has been hand selected to deliver what she deserves—a career at the very highest level. We are proud and humbled to be a part of this next chapter in partnership with such a special artist.”

Megan McLaughlin also joins Dreamcatcher as day to day for Clark, and will also be managing her writing calendar. Chelsea Giberson has joined Dreamcatcher to oversee social media and marketing.

Clark’s next single, “Tell the Truth,” is slated for release via Stem on Aug. 8.
