Adam Leber

Career Early career Leber's music industry career began with an internship at Loud Records, working with their street teams. The internship at the record label led to a role in the label's marketing department, where he worked with quintessential New York hip-hop artists such as Mobb Deep, Big Pun, and the Wu-Tang Clan.

As one of Spears' managers, Leber helped launch her Las Vegas residency Britney: Piece of Me at Planet Hollywood in 2013, which grossed over $137 million in its 248 show run.

In 2014 Leber teamed up with Guy Oseary as well as 8 other established music managers and founded Maverick Management, which represents artists from a wide range of music genres including pop, hip-hop, rock, and country.

Leber added hip hop artist Lil Nas X to his roster in May 2019, co-managing alongside Maverick's Gee Roberson. Nas X's single "Old Town Road" went on to break the record for longest tenure at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July and earn two wins at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.

On April 5, 2021, Leber announced that he was leaving Maverick to launch a management and media company Rebel (his last name in reverse) in conjunction with Live Nation. At his new Los Angeles based company, Leber continues to manage Lil Nas X, Labrinth and LSD among others.

In August 2021, Leber and Cyrus parted ways after almost a decade. His work on the show earned him an Emmy nomination alongside Jen Malone for Outstanding Music Supervision, and a win at the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for Best Music Supervision in a Television Drama. His client Labrinth was also chosen to score the show after Leber played some of his music for the creator Sam Levinson, and in turn earned two Emmy nominations in 2020 for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for his song "All for Us".

Technology & investments Leber was an early investor in Uber, and has since expanded his investments to Everlane, Stance, Acorns, Airbnb, Hyperloop, and Reface. Leber also has a stake in Shervin Pishevar's Sherpa Ventures.
