Chappell Roan Signs Management Deal With Foundations Music

Chappell Roan, the fast-rising pop star and 2025 Grammy winner for Best New Artist, has signed a new management deal with Drew Simmons of Foundations Music after splitting from longtime manager Nick Bobetsky of State of the Art in late 2024. The move follows a significant year for Roan, during which she achieved six Grammy nominations in all major categories, headlined successful tours, and saw her album 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess' climb the charts. Simmons, known for managing Noah Kahan and named to Billboard’s Managers To Watch list, expressed excitement about working with Roan, highlighting Foundations’ commitment to supporting artists. Roan continues to be booked by Wasserman Music for live events and remains with Atlantic Records for label releases. Her recent single, 'The Giver,' has already made a strong showing on both the Billboard Hot 100 and country charts, signaling a new era in her career. The transition has generated considerable industry and fan discussion, especially following Roan's vocal advocacy for better industry support of emerging artists during her Grammy acceptance speech.
