Smart Boy Entertainment

Smart Boy is about the business of Entertainment. Music is a business. That’s why Smart Boy Entertainment is led by a team of globally experienced business leaders – top-tier MBAs and Fortune 100 executives - who also happen to have a deep passion for helping artists turn their God-given talents into sustainable, lucrative careers. JOHN CAUSEY (Smart Boy CEO) and LORI WHITTED JORDAN (EVP Business Development) came together initially in 1994 as Capital Management Group in Washington, DC to manage well-known Old School R&B artists. In doing so, they encountered a number of gifted young artists and their families who were trying to figure out how to nurture and protect a budding career in an industry known for crushing the naïve. Thus, the vision for Smart Boy was born. John moved to Los Angeles and started POSH Entertainment in 2002 where he managed a number of successful artists who continue to thrive in the industry. Now, John and Lori have joined forces with COURTNEY ORMAND, CRYSTAL GRANT, and SIMON MOREL, who together represent an exceptional team of fresh marketing and music production professionals, to make the vision of becoming the premier talent management and development firm for young artists a reality in Smart Boy Entertainment.
