The Umbrella Group Artist Management is a boutique artist management company founded by Tommy Manzi. For more than 25 years, we have represented artists and creative talent across the global music and entertainment landscape.
Our approach is personal, strategic, and long-term: we work closely with each client to define their creative vision, protect their interests, and identify opportunities that can meaningfully advance their career and legacy.
The Umbrella Group provides comprehensive worldwide representation, with expertise spanning music, touring, recordings, publishing, licensing, brand partnerships, media, film, and other emerging opportunities. We operate as a focused partner to our artists, bringing experienced guidance, global perspective, and hands-on management to an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving entertainment industry.
Our goal is simple: to build enduring careers, maximize opportunity, and ensure that the artist’s vision remains at the center of every decision.
