Three-time Grammy-winning, multi-Platinum duo Dan + Shay have signed with The Core Entertainment for management. The duo will be represented by The Core Entertainment co-founders and CEOs Simon Tikhman and Kevin “Chief” Zaruk.

Dan + Shay have built a career defined by powerful performances and enduring, emotionally resonant songs. Their catalog includes landmark hits such as “Tequila,” “Speechless,” “10,000 Hours” (with Justin Bieber), “Glad You Exist” and “Save Me The Trouble,” contributing to billions of streams, multiple No. 1 singles and numerous Platinum and Gold certifications worldwide.

In joining The Core Entertainment, Dan + Shay join an acclaimed, multi-genre roster that includes Bailey Zimmerman, Cameron Whitcomb, Nate Smith, Josh Ross, Nickelback and more.

“We’ve always admired The Core’s ‘music-first’ mentality, and from our first conversations with Simon, Chief, and the entire team, we knew that it was the perfect home for us,” Dan + Shay share. “They have built something truly special, and we are proud to be a part of the story they are writing. We believe in their passion and vision for our music, and can’t wait to launch the next chapter of our career together. The best is yet to come.”

Tikhman and Zaruk note, “Dan + Shay are rare talents—world-class vocalists, songwriters, and performers whose music continues to connect on a global level. We’re honored to join their team and look forward to building on everything they’ve created while opening new doors across music, touring, and partnerships.”
