Smith has worked as a manager in the electronic space for more than a decade at companies including YMU and more. In 2022 she was on Billboard’s list of the top women executives in music. She will serve as manager in Milk & Honey’s electronic music department.
Goldstone and Smith will report to Milk & Honey’s head of artist management Dave Frank, along with Keller. The hirings mark Milk & Honey now having electronic music managers at its offices in Los Aneles, New York and London.
“Today is truly a full circle moment for me,” says Frank. “I first worked with Andrew in 2013 and now a decade later I’m thrilled to bring him and Taren Smith to Milk & Honey. Andrew and Taren’s deep and nuanced understanding of the electronic music industry and the artists that drive it is an invaluable asset for Milk & Honey’s continued growth.”
“We’ve been growing our global electronic music management business over the last nine years now and have plans to double our investment this year,” says Keller. “We predict that the genre will have another large acceleration over the coming years, and we’re building one of the best global infrastructures to support it. Milk & Honey clients will be at a huge advantage to have Andrew Goldstone, a seasoned vet in the space, at the helm.”
Milk & Honey’s existing electronic music management clients include Dutch star Oliver Heldens and his Hi-Lo alias, Italian stalwart Benny Benassi and British producer Joel Corry and underground phenoms including J. Worra, Massano and Chris Avantgarde. The company also represents Ian Asher, KAS:ST, Wuki and more in the artist space.
The company says its cross-genre clients will collectively play over 1,500 shows in 2025, with Keller citing the company’s 15-person creative team and A&R access as keys to its ongoing success. Founded by Keller in 2014, Milk & Honey is a global music management and sports agency. Its clients, which include artists, songwriters, producers and more, received a collective 19 nominations at the 2025 Grammys.
The company’s sports clients include Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and wide receiver Courtland Sutton of the Denver Broncos. The firm entered the sports world three years ago with Jake Presser and Rawleigh Williams alongside Dave Frank and Alex Harrow.
