They will support Range Music’s management talent, as well as artists signed to the Range Music record label and Range Music Publishing.
Cotter joins from The Heavy Group, co-founded in 2016. While there, he helped launch the careers and co-managed international music stars Bazzi, R&B’s Kiana Lede, production group Rice N’ Peas (Kevin White and Mike Woods), and multi-platinum songwriter Chelsea Lena, resulting in millions of records sold worldwide.
