Signed: Victoria Monet Hires New Manager; Alien Ant Farm Inks With Label for Upcoming Music

The sheer number of artist signings announced on a weekly basis makes it difficult to keep up, no matter how closely you pay attention to the industry news cycle. That’s why every other Tuesday, Billboard compiles the latest signings to labels, distributors, agencies, management companies and more, in an effort to provide a snapshot of the latest moves in the artist space, from household names to indie stars to emerging acts.

Leading off the column this week is Victoria Monet, who signed with Full Stop Management. The singer-songwriter, who has won three Grammys, including for best new artist, will be managed by Jeffrey Azoff, Anna Savage, Shawn Holiday, and Sam Weiss. Monet was previously managed by Rachelle Jean-Louis at Tell Your Friends. Her last proper studio album, JAGUAR II, was released in August 2023. Monet has racked up two songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “On My Mama” (No. 33) and “Monopoly” with Ariana Grande (No. 69). “On My Mama” also peaked at No 4 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart.

On the label side, Alien Ant Farm signed with Judge & Jury Records, the record label and production company founded by producer Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace. Best known for singles like “Movies” and a cover of Michael Jackson‘s “Smooth Criminal,” the rock band is currently working on new music. “Signing to Judge and Jury is a true blessing for us,” said the band in a statement. “Neil was very vocal about making something happen. Through the years, Howard Benson has been mentioned in our own personal conversations. Him being involved in so many wonderful rock records, we are confident that this opportunity will yield a great chapter for Alien Ant Farm and everyone involved. Cheers to the future!”
