Ardie Farhadieh

Music Business

Ardie Farhadieh started his career in artist management at the Windish Agency, where he was responsible for a roster of more than 100 DJs and artists, overseeing immigration, contracting, tour routings, in-house tour management, and internal processes. Shortly after Windish, he headed up the marketing division at the Billions Corporation, where he was the corporate, branding, and sponsorships agent for the entire agency. The roster he worked with at Billions included Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons, Bon Iver, the Head and the Heart, Glass Animals, St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens, and many others. While at Billions, Ardie was also crucial in helping build the Fans First presale program alongside Spotify, which is now used industry-wide. After Billions, Ardie started Wick Management, representing Marian Hill, and taking the duo from an act who only had one song out to developing them into a major label, platinum-selling, internationally touring entity. It was during this time that Ardie earned recognition from Billboard as a music industry professional “on the rise” in the magazine’s 40 Under 40 feature. Ardie is currently a manager at Split Second Management, where he continues to represent Marian Hill, as well as Slenderbodies, the Kilans, and DJ/producer Michael Brun.
