• Artist management company, Hard 8 Working Group (H8WG) has promoted artist manager Aimee Beren to run the company’s new Los Angeles office. Beren (left) will be joined by artist manager Michael Duda as part of H8WG’s LA-based team.
Based in Nashville with offices in New York and now in Los Angeles, Hard 8 Working Group is a full service music management company founded in 2018 catering to wide range of clients including All-American Rejects, All Time Low, Ari Abdul, Daya, Daughtry, A$AP TYY, Boys Like Girls, Jawbreaker and more.
“Aimee has been an absolute stellar part of the H8WG team, which alone more than qualified her for this job, but being from LA and having the desire to move back there just made this work out perfectly for all of us,” said Dirk Hemsath, Hard 8 Co-CEO/Co-Founder. “I could not ask for a better person to lead our growth there.”
Beren remarked, “It feels great to be back in LA, especially with such an amazingly collaborative and innovative management company. H8WG has been more than welcoming and entrusted in me over the last 2+ years. I’m excited to see how I can further expand our presence on the West Coast and support the growing roster we already have out here simultaneously.”
The announcement of the company’s new LA office follows H8WG’s recent partnership with Big Machine Label Group to create the Hard Working Record Company, a new Nashville-based record label, which was covered in RAMP in May. [Beren photo credit: Brad Merrell]
