Range Media Partners signs Rita Ora for management

Range Media Partners has signed Rita Ora as a management client. The company will represent the UK star in all areas, including music, film/TV, endorsements, and more.

Rita Ora has accumulated more than 10 billion global streams and scored 13 Top 10 UK singles, four of which have gone to No.1.

Ora is also beginning her second season as a panelist on The Masked Singer, which premiered last month on Fox in the US. She recently starred in Disney’s Descendants: Rise of Red.

“Rita is an incredibly talented global star with such creative and artistic integrity in everything she does from music to film, television, and everything else she puts her energy towards,” said Melissa Ruderman, Range Music managing partner, and Michael Cooper, founding partner of Range Media Partners, in a joint statement. “We built Range explicitly for true multi-hyphenate talent like Rita, a once-in-a-generation artist."

“I’m very excited to be working with Range Media Partners,” said Rita Ora. “I’ve always approached my career with a 360 viewpoint on the industry. It’s been an integral part of my vision, and it was essential to partner with a team that is fully aligned and has experts across music, film/TV, and branding. We have been off to an immediate great start, and I’m really looking forward to all the things we will do together.”
