Maverick (management)
American music management group
Maverick is an American music management group formed in 2014 by Guy Oseary. A revival of the Maverick company (1992–2009), the management group also adopts the company's logo.
History
In 2014, Oseary announced that he was forming a joint venture with Live Nation Entertainment to establish a management group, amalgamating with other managers and their companies into one venture. Oseary originally was joined by Reign Deer's Larry Rudolph and Adam Leber, Blueprint Group's Gee Roberson, Cortez Bryant and Shawn Gee, Quest Management's Scott Rodger, Spalding Entertainment's Clarence Spalding, Laffitte Management's Ron Laffitte and I Am Other's Caron Veazey. All nine managers combined their companies together, rebranded them and their respective employees as "Maverick" on October 17, 2014.
In March 2015, founder Madonna released her album Rebel Heart, featuring the Maverick logo on the back cover. This signified a new collaboration between Oseary, Madonna's manager, and Live Nation Entertainment as a management group, not a record label.
In May 2016, Wassim Slaiby, CEO of XO, joined the Maverick Management team with The Weeknd, Belly and Massari.
In November 2017, Maverick parent company Live Nation announced they had paid an undisclosed sum to acquire Big Loud and their six-artist roster.
In July 2018 Maverick announced the signing of Latin pop artist Ricky Martin under manager Lee Anne Callahan-Longo based out of the Maverick New York office.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american music management group. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q60773660. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 1992, 2009 and 2015.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
