72 Music Management

I dreamt of being an Artist Manager at 16-years-old. I’m so grateful that my dream was realized and it led me to work with these truly exceptional artists and passionate teams.

Time flies but so many great milestones, collaborations, and travels have been packed in these 10 years. I enjoy being a part of the creative process, having a role in elevating a project or career, experiencing the wins together, and all of the friendships I have generated from this business. It is such a great community. Among the great gifts of this work is the mentorship I’m able to provide to the next generation and advocacy I’ve been able to assist with.

I really look forward to the next round of music, appearances, friendships, and destinations that this great art form and industry lead me to.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my journey so far, especially the artists.

I’m proud to manage (alphabetical order): A.J. Croce, Blind Boys of Alabama, Bobby Rush, Dom Flemons, and Dustbowl Revival

and to be serving my second term as Governor on the Memphis Chapter board of The Recording Academy. - Jeff DeLia, Founder & President of 72 Music Management
