Nashville-based Iconic Entertainment Group has announced the addition of Alicia Jones, who will serve as day-to-day manager for Kelsea Ballerini, the rising star whose debut album, The First Time, banked three consecutive No. 1 songs and recently released her sophomore album, Unapologetically. Jones previously managed the day-to-day career of Montgomery Gentry for nearly 10 years.
“I’m so glad to have Alicia on board. Her experience is going to be a huge asset,” says Fletcher Foster, president and CEO, Iconic Entertainment Group. “She is incredibly driven, and her passion for the artists she works with is evident. I know she’ll be an invaluable asset to the team and I’m thrilled to have her on board.”
Jones spent the first 3.5 years of her career at Hi-Fi Fusion, a boutique digital marketing company founded by industry veteran Todd Cassetty. From there, she went on to spend just over three years working with Mike Robertson Management assisting on the careers of Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband, Carolina Rain, Patty Loveless and Wade Hayes. This led to an opportunity with John Dennis to manage the day-to-day careers of Montgomery Gentry for the last 9.5 years. There she helped secure and manage endorsement deals, managed social media, creative, tour marketing and A&R for Montgomery Gentry’s last album, as well as their philanthropic efforts.
Jones is a native of Maple Hill, North Carolina and holds a B.S. in Interior Design from Meredith College.
