IDOL HANDS

3/7/17

Big Machine artist and American Idol Season 15 champ Trent Harmon celebrates inking with new manager Rick Barker by posing for this festive photo op. Barker worked on Idol's Artist Development team and as a social media mentor for contestants and formerly served as West Coast Regional at Big Machine prior to working in management for Taylor Swift.

“Rick is a force of nature and has the rare ability to recognize opportunity where most just simply do not,” said Big Machine Label Group President/CEO Scott Borchetta. “Working with Trent for management will create the unfair advantage that all artists crave. This is going to be good… very good…”

“The chance to work with Trent, Scott, the Big Machine Team, CAA and Country Radio was too good to pass up,” said Barker. “Trent showed me at Idol that he was willing to follow instructions and would do whatever it takes to win no matter how crazy it sounded!”

In an unrelated story, HITS' social media mentor enjoyed another nice nap today.
