Cortez Bryant Invests in MNGRS.AI, Joins as Strategic Advisor

Artist manager and executive Cortez Bryant has invested in MNGRS.AI, the AI-powered artist management platform. Bryant – who played a key role in the careers of Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj – has also joined the company as a Strategic Advisor.

The platform:

• MNGRS.AI was developed by French startup Global Music Community and founded by Alexandre Deniot and Thomas Quenoil.

• The platform’s AI-powered tools are designed to help independent artists with career planning, strategy, content development and other management-related functions, as per Music Business Worldwide.

• The company says it isn’t designed to replace managers, but to make successful management principles available to millions of artists.

New investment:

• Bryant is the platform’s first US-based music industry investor.

• He is Co-CEO of The Blueprint Group and a Partner at Maverick.

• As Strategic Advisor, Bryant will work with MNGRS.AI’s leadership team on “artist development frameworks, industry partnerships and long-term growth initiatives,” as per MBW.

What they said:

• Cortez Bryant: “For a long time, I’ve been looking for a way to help more artists than I could ever support personally. Throughout my career, countless artists have reached out to me looking for advice, guidance and direction, but the reality is that traditional artist management can only reach a limited number of people. MNGRS.AI has the potential to be a real game-changer. It can make the kind of structured guidance and career support that artists need accessible to millions of people who would otherwise never have access to it. That’s a vision I’m excited to support.”
