Eshy Gazit

Eshy Gazit is an American music industry executive and artist manager whose career has been defined by bringing Korean and Asian music to the American mainstream.

From 2016 to 2018, he served as the U.S. managing partner for BTS, leading the campaign that broke the group into the American market — the "Mic Drop" remix with Steve Aoki hit #28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went Platinum, followed by performances on the AMAs, BBMAs, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and James Corden.

Since 2018, he has managed Monsta X, who became the first K-pop act on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, the first K-pop act at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and signed to Sony's Epic Records. The group's album All About Luv debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200; The Dreaming debuted at #3 on Billboard Top Album Sales.

In 2019, Gazit joined Maverick Management — the Live Nation–owned firm whose roster includes U2, Madonna, and Paul McCartney — as a Partner. In 2021, he founded Intertwine Records, a label dedicated to K-pop and Asian artists. He has been named a Billboard International Power Player in 2021 and 2022.

Before transitioning to management, Gazit came up through the music itself — a multi-instrumentalist, sound engineer, and producer at Manhattan's Cutting Room studios and as a house producer at KEXP Radio, working with artists including The Strokes, John Legend, Chrisette Michele, Estelle, Mos Def, and legendary producer Steve Lillywhite.

He works between New York, Los Angeles, and Seoul.
