I'm thankful she took a chance on me then, and I'm grateful every day we get to work together on whatever new crazy idea or ambitious goal she has.

This was when I was still managing bands and "creator managers" weren't really a thing. We didn't know what managing someone who made videos meant, but I knew we could build a really compelling business together.

Ten years ago, I sent her a DM that read exactly like this: "Hey Simone, do you currently have management? If not, can I get your email? LOVE your youtube channel".

I've had the privilege of working with Simone since the beginning of her journey. Being her manager has felt less like steering and more like being a passenger alongside genuine genius. Her instincts are unparalleled and her creativity inspires me every meeting.

When an unsigned artist can generate 3 billion views in six months using nothing but repurposed content and strategic persistence, it can be dismissed cynically as a gimmick, but you can choose to view it as the new age of sync.
