He’s best known as the music manager behind Grammy-nominated pop sensation Halsey, a role that has placed him at the forefront of today’s evolving music scene. Over the years, he’s built a strong reputation not only for his work with Halsey but also as the founder of Anti-Pop, a music management company that’s made waves in the industry. His influence extends beyond just music—he played a pivotal role in helping Halsey launch her successful cosmetic ventures, About Face Beauty and Af94, showcasing his versatility and deep understanding of artist branding.

Before stepping into the spotlight as Halsey’s manager, he spent much of his youth in New Jersey playing guitar in local bands, nurturing a passion for music from an early age. His big break came in 2013 when he met Halsey at a hotel party—an encounter that would change the trajectory of both their careers. At first, she asked him to pretend to be her manager during label meetings, a temporary arrangement that quickly turned serious. By the following year, he officially joined forces with Jason Aron to represent the quadruple-platinum artist, marking the beginning of a powerful professional partnership. It was during this time that Halsey wrote and recorded her debut single, “Ghost,” a track that would set the stage for her meteoric rise.

On a more personal note, he began dating Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch in 2022, sparking interest among fans and media alike. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in August the next year, sharing heartfelt moments across social media platforms. Their relationship has been well-documented through mutual posts and public appearances, including being photographed together outside Valentino Paris Fashion Week in October 2022—further solidifying their presence in both entertainment and fashion circles. Through it all, his journey—from local gigs to managing one of pop music’s most influential voices—remains a testament to passion, timing, and authentic collaboration.
