Make Wake Artists Partners with One Twenty One Management

Make Wake Artists, the Nashville-based management company that’s home to Luke Combs, has partnered with Adam Hale’s One Twenty One Management.

The roster:

• One Twenty One guides the careers of Muscadine Bloodline, Ben Chapman and Josh Weathers.

• Joining Hale in the partnership is Ivan “Churro” Haro, who serves as day-to-day manager for each act.

Backstory:

• One Twenty One was founded by Hale, a former Ohio Army National Guard who served in Kandahar, Afghanistan, from 2011-2012 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

• Upon moving to Nashville he spent eight years on the road alongside Newsboys, Colt Ford, Kip Moore, Brad Paisley and others, building experience in artist operations, production and logistics.

• He began managing Muscadine Bloodline in 2019, before later founding One Twenty One.

What they said:

• Chris Kappy, Founder of Make Wake Artists: “I’ve always believed that the best partnerships are built on shared values before shared success. 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.”

• Adam Hale: “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. 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.”
