In a series of strategic moves that have solidified its position as a powerhouse in the music industry, Brandon Silverstein’s S10 Entertainment continues to make waves with high-profile signings and partnerships. The company’s recent successes highlight its growing influence in artist management, music publishing, and global entertainment.
Big Sean Joins Brandon Silverstein’s S10 Roster
In a significant coup for S10, Grammy-nominated rapper Big Sean has signed a management deal with the company. The Detroit native, previously with Roc Nation for a decade, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership. “Brandon shares the vision, understands where I’m headed, and I’m incredibly excited to work with him and the S10 team,” Sean stated.
The timing couldn’t be better, as Big Sean prepares to release his sixth solo album, “Better Me Than You,” in August. This follows his recent chart success with a feature on Eminem’s “Tobey,” which hit No. 24 on the Hot 100.
Silverstein, S10’s founder and CEO, shared his excitement about the signing: “Big Sean is an incredible talent who, even after topping charts, breaking records, winning awards, and headlining across the world, is just getting started. I can’t wait for fans to hear the new music.”
Strategic Partnership with Avex USA
Adding to Brandon Silverstein’s momentum, Avex USA recently announced a strategic investment in S10 Entertainment. This partnership creates a unique alliance between Japan’s leading music and entertainment company and one of North America’s most prominent talent management groups.
The collaboration aims to provide S10 and Roc Nation’s stars with access to Asian markets while offering Avex’s Japanese talent exposure to top-tier management teams in the US. Naoki Osada, CEO of Avex USA, emphasized the organic nature of the partnership: “We share a lot in common with our respective companies’ DNA, and extending our partnership was a natural and organic step.”
Emerging Talent: Kavi Signs Co-Publishing Deal
Demonstrating S10’s keen eye for emerging talent, the company recently inked a co-publishing agreement with 21-year-old music producer Kavi. The deal, made in partnership with Avex USA, positions Kavi to build on the success of his recent hit “Million Dollar Baby,” performed by Tommy Richman.
Kavi’s signing underscores S10’s commitment to nurturing up-and-coming artists and producers. “Brandon and Naoki have amazing energy. I’m excited to bring more of my musical ideas to life, supported by the incredible teams at S10 and Avex,” Kavi said of the deal.
A Bright Future
With these recent developments, S10 Entertainment is poised for continued growth and success. The company’s roster now boasts a mix of established stars like Big Sean and rising talents like Kavi, alongside chart-topping songwriters and producers.
As S10 expands its global reach through the Avex partnership and continues to sign top-tier talent, Brandon Silverstein’s vision for a full-service entertainment powerhouse is quickly becoming a reality. The music industry will be watching closely to see what S10 does next.
