Borchetta Branches Into Management

• Scott Borchetta has been rolling non-stop since leaving HYBE America last month, reclaiming the Big Machine Records brand, retaining the Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment brand, and launching his new company. Now comes word of his latest chapter — Borchetta Entertainment Group — the newest vertical — the third pillar, if you will — alongside Big Machine Records and Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment in what the company website describes as “Three pillars, One Vision.”

As the website notes: “Borchetta Entertainment Group is the evolution of 20 years of industry leadership — a company that has broken more artists, launched more careers, and built more lasting legacies than any independent entertainment group in Nashville history… Today, we open the next chapter: artist management. Bringing the same intention, strategy, and relentless advocacy that built our labels — directly to careers.”

And with that, Blue Highway recording artist Carly Pearce has been signed as Borchetta Entertainment Group’s first management client. It was concurrently announced that Mike Blong (above, right), most recently with Starstruck Entertainment, and Carly Pearce’s day-to-day manager since 2022, has joined BEG as a Manager.

Borchetta said, “I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off this new era of Big Machine then by announcing the formation of the Borchetta Entertainment Group — starting with the Grammy/CMA/ACM award-winning Carly Pearce and her longtime management partner, Mike Blong. This new season for Carly promises to be her best yet.”

Blong commented, “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Carly through multiple stages of her career. Joining forces with Scott and Borchetta Entertainment Group is an exciting next chapter for all of us as we continue to build on the momentum Carly has created around the world.”
