ABOUT

Pepper Jelly Management is built on passion, authenticity and a love for what music does: bring people together. We believe in growing community organically and in giving artists the support they deserve so they can focus on making music. Our job is to help turn their dreams into reality.

Pepper Jelly was founded in September 2026 by Spencer Guas and Hayes Herren. We've both spent a good while interning in the music industry, at places like Red Light Management and SoundExchange, working with all kinds of artists and managers along the way. That gave us a real understanding of the business side, including royalty collection and the regulatory part of music. Starting our own company was something we'd always wanted to do, and after one conversation at the bar and a summer of talking it through, we made it happen.

We've seen plenty of people in this industry who know the business but don't really understand the music. At Pepper Jelly we understand both, the musicians and the art itself, and we value that. We're still learning and still growing, and we work hard every single day to make our artists' dreams a reality.
