Veteran artist manager Bill Simmons, management partner Kendal Marcy and award-winning songwriter and publisher Chris DuBois have formed Domain Artist Management, a joint venture created in partnership with Domain Capital Group, LLC. Three-time Grammy award winner Brad Paisley has signed as the company’s flagship client.
“The formation of Domain Artist Management brings together experienced and successful artist representation and long-term capital into one platform,” says Pete Chiappetta, Managing Director of Media & Entertainment at Domain Capital Group. “By aligning our resources and strategic capabilities with the decades of experience that Bill, Kendal, and Chris bring to the table, we are building a management company designed to serve artists thoughtfully and capitalize on today’s entertainment landscape for our investors.”
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Pete and the entire Domain team to add more talented artists to our roster,” shares Marcy. “As Nashville and the country genre continue to expand, we are eager to support and develop our artists’ successes through our expertise in management, touring, music, and film.”
Domain Artist Management brings together a leadership team with decades of experience in artist development, production and business strategy.
A pillar of the Nashville management community, Simmons formerly served as a partner at The Fitzgerald Hartley Co. and as Chairman of the CMA Board of Directors. He currently serves as a board member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Simmons has managed Paisley’s career since 2003.
Marcy is a multi-instrumentalist and award-winning producer, and has been a vital part of Paisley’s team since 1999. He has been executive producer on many of Paisley’s TV and musical endeavors over the years and became a management partner in 2014.
DuBois, an award-winning songwriter and executive, co-founded Sea Gayle Music with Paisley in 1999. With 18 No. 1 hits as a songwriter and multiple Songwriter of the Year accolades (NSAI, ASCAP), DuBois brings an extensive track record in publishing and intellectual property management.
The launch of Domain Artist Management marks a significant evolution for Domain Capital Group’s entertainment division, which has been investing in the entertainment sector since 2011.
