Stuart Camp, long-term manager of global superstar Ed Sheeran, is now a fully independent operator.
Camp was previously tied into a JV with London-based Rocket Music – the entertainment firm co-founded by Sir Elton John.
Now Camp’s UK-based company – Grumpy Old Management Ltd – has gone it alone, and will continue to manage Sheeran.
Camp (pictured with Sheeran) joined Rocket in 2007 and signed Sheeran in 2011.
He previously worked at Warner/Atlantic alongside the likes of Korda Marshall and Max Lousada.
“We are immensely proud of all our achievements together and look forward to seeing Stu’s company and Ed’s success go from strength to strength.”
Sir Elton John
The split with Rocket is an amicable one.
In a statement, Sir Elton John said: “After many incredible years of working together I would like to wish a heartfelt and fond farewell to Ed, Stuart and his team, with whom we have shared some amazing moments.
“It has been a very rewarding and exciting experience supporting them through their fantastic journey.
“We are immensely proud of all our achievements together and look forward to seeing Stu’s company and Ed’s success go from strength to strength.”
Sheeran’s Shape Of You is the biggest song of all time on Spotify, clocking up more than 1.5bn streams to date.Music Business Worldwide
