NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – Shelter Music Group, founded in 2019 and led by CEO Carl Stubner, COO/CSO Brian Harris Frank and President Dino Paredes, is a rapidly growing artist management company with an impressive and diverse roster.
Shelter has established a global presence with offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville and London. The team manages legendary names such as Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, The Buddy Holly Estate and a host of others. Since launching, Shelter has expanded from 20 artists to 76 and counting, while also building a team of 17 managers and a strong shared services team to support its growing roster.
Shelter has proudly confirmed the expansion of their dynamic lineup with the addition of five powerhouse artists: Cheap Trick, Boys Like Girls, Chiodos, American Hi-Fi and Dead Poet Society. See below for more details on Shelter’s newly signed artists.
Shelter aims to create an environment that focuses on mentorship, authenticity and long-term career development as opposed to the short-term gains Stubner found common while studying trends in the industry. “At Shelter, I’m intensely focused on the growth of our community of artists and also focused on our managers to help them develop their craft and vision,” says Stubner.
With decades of experience managing the careers of iconic acts such as Fleetwood Mac (since 1994), ZZ Top (since 2007) and Crowded House (since 2019), Stubner brings extensive industry knowledge to this blossoming venture along with the help of his friends and colleagues Frank and Paredes, both of whom bring strong creative backgrounds. Frank’s experience spans labels (EVP of Warner Bros. Records, Head of Rock at Interscope Records) and technology (EVP & Global Head of Content at Beats Music) while Paredes served as EVP of A&R/GM at Rick Rubin’s American Recordings.
