Borchetta Entertainment Adds Spellman & Halem
• Borchetta Entertainment Group announced a significant leadership expansion, welcoming Kevin Spellman and Henley Halem to the company as Co-Vice Presidents.
“The addition of Kevin and Henley to the Borchetta Entertainment Group Management division shows the level of service and commitment we are making to our artists,” says Scott Borchetta, Founder & Chairman of Big Machine Records, who launched the full-service management division in March of this year. “Kevin and I co-managed Cheap Trick into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and have always remained close,” Borchetta said. “Add Henley Halem — who is an absolute flamethrower — to the mix, and this collective is at full strength!”
Halem brings more than two decades of experience across artist management, A&R, and marketing to Borchetta Entertainment Group, where he will manage a roster including Yung Gravy, Getter, Terror Reid, and DJ 4B. Earlier in his career, Halem founded an indie marketing agency spanning Hip-Hop, Alternative, and Pop, and served as Director of Marketing at Imperial/Capitol Records and Sr. Director of A&R at Ultra Records and Ultra International Music Publishing. His work with Yung Gravy has yielded 10 Gold and 4 Platinum singles, alongside major brand partnerships.
“I’ve spent my career in service of artists — building the infrastructure that turns moments into long, lasting careers,” says Halem. “That’s exactly the work we’re setting out to do here. Scott Borchetta is one of the most successful architects of artist careers this business has ever seen, and together with Kevin Spellman, we’re building something really special.”
Spellman brings 26 years of artist management experience to Borchetta Entertainment Group, where he will develop and manage a roster that includes Molly Tuttle, Easton Corbin, John Foster, and Mark Collie. Spellman joins Borchetta after 17 years with Vector Management, most recently as Head of the Nashville office. He spent the early part of his career at Career Artist Management in Los Angeles contributing to the early development of Sara Bareilles.
“I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity to step into the VP role at Borchetta Entertainment Group,” said Spellman. “Scott’s knowledge of this business is unmatched, and getting to learn from him every day while building something special together is a privilege I don’t take for granted. I’m excited for what’s ahead for our artists and this team.” Pictured, (l-r): Henley Halem, Scott Borchetta, and Kevin Spellman.
