Foundations Artist Management was launched in 2000 by Steve Bursky, and has since grown into a full-service artist representation company focusing on building artists' careers from the ground-up. The New York based company prides itself on its work with its acts from the very early stages of their careers, helping them lay the necessary groundwork for a successful future in the music industry. With the addition of Brian Winton to the management team in 2004 and Richard Cohen in 2010, Foundations has expanded its management roster to include Owl City, Passion Pit, Dr. Dog, Dispatch, Tokyo Police Club, Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Jesse Lauter, Joan As Police Woman, We Barbarians and Sky Sailing. In 2010, Foundations Artist Management launched Foundations Design, a collaboration between individuals from multiple facets within the music industry with the purpose of providing high-quality visual solutions for bands, promoters, and labels.
