Joey Purp LLC
CO-FOUNDER & GENERAL MANAGER · 2015 — 2024
A single-artist enterprise scaled to global revenue, major-label-tier deals, and a documented festival circuit — while remaining independent.
I helped co-found Joey Purp LLC and ran it as General Manager for nearly a decade — building a single-artist enterprise into a $10–15M annual revenue operation across publishing, distribution, sponsorship, and global touring.
As GM, I directed a cross-functional team of 8+ — booking, label, publishing, sync, marketing, and creative — with two direct reports. I negotiated and closed a publishing agreement with Sony Music Publishing and a distribution agreement with Caroline, Universal Music's indie arm.
The operation released two critically-recognized albums (iiiDrops, QUARTERTHING), landed two late-night television performances — The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with RZA and Last Call with Carson Daly — and built a global touring footprint across North America and the European festival circuit.
