Management and touring firm Timeline is expanding its offerings with a dedicated music management division headed by executive Simonne Solitro, the company tells Billboard. The new division will be called Timeline Music and add to Timeline’s other arms, including influencer-management powerhouse Timeline Management and tour production arm Timeline Touring.
Timeline Music will tap into the company’s branding and digital marketing infrastructure to serve the needs of today’s artists, including Solitro’s longtime client, certified multi-platinum recording artist Tinashe, who follows her to the company.
“Simonne is one of the most dynamic and driven women I know and there is no one better to lead and grow Timeline Music,” said Timeline founder/CEO Alexis Fisher in a statement. “We have a shared philosophy — a desire to do big things in new ways and the need to challenge ourselves and those around us to think differently every single day. We’re all so excited to welcome her and Tinashe and look forward to building the future with them.”
In December, Live Nation acquired a majority stake in Timeline, and it was announced that veteran artist manager Larry Rudolph would serve as a strategic partner for the company.
Solitro says of the new launch: “It’s never been easier to create and share great music — and I’ve been fortunate to work with so many talented artists who do just that. But truly shaping culture or making a lasting impact means going beyond the music and building an authentic, lasting brand. That’s why I’m thrilled to partner with Alexis to create this new division at Timeline. She’s not only a powerhouse in the industry, but also an inspiring female leader who knows how to bring big ideas to life. Together, with her track record of building multifaceted brands, I’m confident we’ll help artists expand their reach in powerful new ways.”
Prior to joining Timeline, Solitro spent five years on the artist management team at Jay-Z’s sprawling entertainment company Roc Nation and, before that, at Denver’s boutique 7S Management. At Roc Nation, Solitro worked with artists including Christina Aguilera and Kelly Rowland.
