MOE SHALIZI,  the long-time manager of MARSHMELLO, has departed RED LIGHT MANAGEMENT to form his own full-service management firm. THE SHALIZI GROUP launches as a LOS ANGELES-based company representing talent such as JAUZ, SIKDOPE, SOUTHSIDE of 808 MAFIA, SUMR CAMP, OOKAY, SLUSHII and GHASTLY in addition to his work with MARSHMELLO. 

Commented SHALIZI, "My four years at RED LIGHT were nothing short of amazing and I am forever grateful for all that I learned from some of the best managers in the business. CORAN CAPSHAW and BRUCE ESKOWITZ have both been extremely supportive of my decision. I just got to a place where I had a vision that required me to go on my own in order to make it happen."

RED LIGHT MANAGEMENT COO BRUCE ESKOWITZ added, "We are proud of what we've accomplished with MOE and MARSHMELLO. We congratulate him on his success, and we look forward to working with him on other projects in the future.  I wish him nothing but the best of luck.  He is a great manager and person and I can't say enough good things about him and what he's done and going to do in the future."

SHALIZI and his team have strategically and creatively marketed and developed their artists as 360-degree brands. 

Currently on the cover of the FORBES 30 Under 30 issue, MARSHMELLO has catapulted into the realm of superstardom. His current single "Happier" featuring BASTILLE on ASTROWERKS is #1 at pop radio and has hit one billion streams worldwide. With the last year's chart-topping singles featuring collaborations with the likes of SELENA GOMEZ, MIGOS, KHALID, LOGIC and more, MARSHMELLO has clocked 2+ billion streams across SPOTIFY alone with over 40 million monthly listeners, cementing him as the platform's #4 Most Streamed Artist in the World. Marshmello won his first AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD for "Best Electronic Artist" at the 2018 AMA's and a 2018 MTV EMA Award for "Best Electronic Artist."
