Music Biz: Vic Mensa & Usher are joining Scooter Braun’s management team.
Scooter Braun’s management roster just got a whole lot stronger this week. According to Billboard, Save Money rapper Vic Mensa & ATL legend Usher have both signed new management deals with SB Projects, bka Brauns’s company.
Vic & Usher will join a roster already consisting of some the biggest names in the music business, most notably Justin Bieber & Kanye West, as well as Tori Kelly, Carly Rae Jepsen, Martin Garrix, and the Black Eyed Peas, among others. Braun had managed Ariana Grande up until February of 2016 when the two went their separate ways, but he was still credited for her latest album release Dangerous Woman, which is currently slaying the airwaves & pop charts.
“I’ve always been in the Scooter family,” when asked to confirm his signing after appearing on a panel with Ryan Seacrest at Cannes this week. “We actually have worked together on artists, and worked together in business. So it’s just a continuum.”
Vic Mensa, who is signed to Roc Nation, will be co-managed by Braun and Cody Kazarian. His long awaited debut album, Traffic, is on the way. Meanwhile, Usher’s eighth studio album, Flawed, is expected to arrive later this year.
