Scooter Braun

Ariana Grande is one of more than two dozen clients Scooter Braun represents at SB Projects. Others include Justin Bieber, Usher and the Black Eyed Peas. He's made the company so successful that 21-time Grammy winner Kanye West called Braun personally to represent him. Braun's artist management and entertainment company now has 28 clients, including Karlie Kloss and Ariana Grande. After over a decade in the industry, Braun is still best known for discovering a 13-year-old kid from Canada on YouTube. Braun helped guide Justin Bieber from internet obscurity to global recognition. It's been a 10-year career full of public highs and lows. Braun has been mixing entertainment with philanthropy. Most recently, he was executive producer of the Hand in Hand telethon, which raised over $55 million for victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. In June of this year, he organized the One Love Manchester benefit concert to pay tribute to the 22 killed in the terrorist attack at Ariana Grande's show only two weeks earlier. Braun, 42, is also the CEO of HYBE America, the U.S. arm of the South Korean entertainment giant that merged with SB Projects’s parent company, Ithaca Holdings, in a deal worth a reported $1.05 billion in 2021.
