Denver-based Mammoth Music Group has officially announced the formation of a new full-service management company that will handle artists including Pretty Lights, Papadosio, Manic Focus, Pigeons Playing Ping-Pong and many others.

Mammoth Music Group is led by owner Phil Salvaggio and company partners Sean MacAskill, Jason Szabo and Russ Friedell. The group is joined by artist managers Jacob Ottmann, Dave DiCianni, Joe McCarten, Jacob Barinholtz, Emily Strom, Chris Meyer, Jeff Morrow and Evan Marks, according to the announcement.

MacAskill told Pollstar that Mammoth has been ramping up in recent weeks leading up to today's formal launch.

“Our collective goal is to nurture authentic relationships with our artists while assisting in their development and executing their artistic vision and inspiration,” the company stated. “With a constantly changing paradigm that exists within the music business, we strive to be on the cutting edge while staying true to the beliefs of one's art. Our goals are to push the boundaries of each artist while guiding them to success and remaining truly genuine. Mammoth Music Group utilizes modern industry tools, resources, creative, technologies, partnerships and vision to operate at the highest standard.”



The boutique artist management firm says it also specializes and offers consultation services in marketing, production, promotions, branding and more.
