Jesse Coren (founder of Mutual Friends)

We're speaking with Mutual Friends founder, Jesse Coren!

Jesse Coren is the name behind some of your favorite artists—Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler, Quinn XCII, and ayokay. He founded Mutual Friends, a New York-based artist management company partnered with Visionary Music Group, in 2017 after a decade at dGi Management. Coren says the mission of Mutual Friends is to “bring good to the universe through art and music” and support the artists on his roster. Mutual Friends is now a team of four, but it didn’t start out that way: Coren was initially the sole manager for his clientele when he started up the company and continues to expand his team. Over years of working for management companies, Coren has amassed extensive knowledge on every aspect of the music and creative industries, especially the drastic ways it’s changed largely due to the rise of social media platforms.


Music You’re Missing spoke to Coren about social media, independent artists, work-life balance, advice for aspiring managers, philanthropy, and more.
