Make Wake Artists, the Nashville-based management firm that represents Luke Combs, has entered into a partnership with One Twenty One Management, the company founded by Adam Hale.
One Twenty One Management guides the careers of Muscadine Bloodline, Ben Chapman and Josh Weathers. Day-to-day management for all three acts is handled by Ivan “Churro” Haro, who joins the partnership alongside Hale.
Hale, a former Ohio Army National Guard member who served in Kandahar, Afghanistan from 2011 to 2012 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, moved to Nashville and spent eight years on the road with acts including Newsboys, Colt Ford, Kip Moore and Brad Paisley, gaining experience in artist operations, production and logistics. He began managing Muscadine Bloodline in 2019 before launching One Twenty One Management.
“I’ve always believed that the best partnerships are built on shared values before shared success,” said Chris Kappy, founder of Make Wake Artists. “Adam Hale and the Muscadine Bloodline team have built something authentic by staying true to who they are, and that’s exactly the kind of artist and people we want to be in business with.”
“Kappy and I first met years ago in the UK while I was tour managing Kip Moore and he was helping build Luke Combs’ career,” Hale said. “I’ve admired how he’s grown Make Wake with a fan-first mindset, and I believe that philosophy pairs naturally with my artist-first approach built on integrity, communication and execution.”
