John Legend parts ways with his longtime manager Ty Stiklorius of Friends at Work and signs with Roc Nation.

John Legend has switched management and is now represented by Jay Brown at Roc Nation as he parts ways with his longtime manager Ty Stiklorius and her firm Friends at Work. While the exact timing of the change is unclear, The Hollywood Reporter notes that Legend was listed on Friends at Work’s roster as recently as last month.

Stiklorius also spoke of her work with the singer last month during a Global Citizen panel in Beverly Hills.

“Twenty years is a lifetime in this business, and I’m proud of the work John and I did together that was rooted in creativity, trust, love, and ambition,” said Stiklorius in a statement. “I’m energized by what’s ahead for both of us as I pass the music management baton to Jay Brown at Roc Nation. I continue to be John’s partner in the many for-profit and non-profit ventures we built together and John’s biggest champion.”

The two had worked together for decades, with their association dating back to 2006, just two years after John Legend first broke out with his debut album, Get Lifted. The artist has won 13 Grammy Awards and has been at the forefront of R&B music for over 20 years, with hits like “All of Me” and the Meghan Trainor duet “Like I’m Going to Lose You.”

Stiklorius helped him found John Legend Ventures, and he was still with her when she founded Friends at Work in 2014, leaving Troy Carter’s Atom Factory together.

Friends at Work’s roster still includes artists like Charlie Puth, The National, and jazz singer Arook Aftab. Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s management firm and music company, holds an impressive roster of talent like Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Uzi Vert, and many more.
