Big Management Information

In the late 1980’s when the music world was being transformed, entrepreneurs Gary Salzman & Joe Koppie formed Big Management, an innovative and revolutionary company. Todd Terry, Tony Humphries, Cher, Everything But The Girl, Ray Roc, Chris Willis, Jason Nevins, Tony Moran – these are just a few of the artists that Big Management has nurtured and managed to become superstars in the dance music world. Over the years, Big Management has evolved into a full service music and entertainment company and has expanded it’s focus on premier talent management, promotion and marketing, A&R consulting, publishing, and assisting both independent and major labels with their entertainment projects. Big Management is credited with being the first to make the DJ the artist and have multi-city DJ Tours, creating the mindset that the band is the artist – the guitar player, the drummer, the keyboard player, the bass player are the artists, as well as the singer, and that the DJ in this world is the band. Gary bridged the gap between Dance Music and Pop, when connecting superstar Cher with their writers and producers to create the hit album “Believe”, and putting David Guetta and Chris Willis on Pop Radio with the Top 10 song “Love Is Gone” and "No Gettin' Over You" with Fergie and LMFAO. They have worked with the likes of Randy Jackson and his Dream Merchant 21 label, consulting with him and his artists to create some of the best music productions around today. Currently, Big Management’s artist roster includes some of the finest talent in the world such as Betsie Larkin, Jennifer Rene, Drama Club, Alicia Madison, Downlow'd, Jose Nunez, Katie DiCicco, only to name a few. Working with top artists such as Armin van Buuren, Laidback Luke, Thomas Gold, Erick Morillo, Moska, Promiseland, DWayne, Paul van Dyk, and more.
