About Me
Hello, I'm Neil Mason, an artist, manager, and record label founder with over 25 years of experience in the music industry.
As a member of three bands that have had major label record deals and performed worldwide, I have had the privilege of playing over 2,500 shows to millions of people.
I have also been involved in writing, managing, publishing, and producing songs with over 1 billion streams.
My current band, The Cadillac Three, has released 5 albums.
In 2016, I launched Badlands Management, an independent management company that aims to guide artists toward their goals in the music business.
The artists I work with have been streamed over 600 million times and have toured with artists such as Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Morgan Wallen, and many more.
In 2023, Badlands Management began working in partnership with Red Light Management.
