The Grammy and Oscar-winning sibling duo Billie Eilish and Finneas have made a change in their careers as they have officially parted ways with previous managers Danny Rukasin and Brandon Goodman of Best Friends Music Management.
As revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, they have now enlisted Jason Owen, the CEO of Sandbox Entertainment, as their new manager.
Jason Owen is mostly known for managing beloved country artists like Kacey Musgraves and Kelsea Ballerini. With this new role, he takes a relative shift in direction for Billie Eilish and Finneas as their music primarily falls within the alternative pop and indie genres.
This move by the beloved artists has generated notable buzz among fans and enthusiasts across the music industry. It should be noted that Billie Eilish and Finneas have achieved notable acclaim from critics and fans under their previous management. They have also scored multiple chart-topping hits, Grammy Awards, and multiple film soundtrack contributions.
Who is Jason Owen?
Jason Owen is a talent manager and CEO of Sandbox Entertainment. His previous experience is mainly rooted in country music. He has worked with Faith Hill, Little Big Town, and Kate Hudson, among others, and as reports suggest, Jason has a track record of building successful careers.
Before founding Sandbox in 2010, Jason Owen worked in film and television. He held executive positions at New Line Cinema, Fine Line, and Universal Music Nashville.
His company has gradually expanded into film and Broadway, with projects like the documentary June and the stage musical Shucked.
Billie Eilish Charts took to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle to share:
"Billie Eilish has enlisted Jason Owen and Sandbox Entertainment for management. Sandbox Ent. (Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini) will now represent her in the fields of music, television and film."
Fans were quick to weigh in on the comment section of the post as they voiced their thoughts over this latest management change of the sibling duo.
Below are some of their reactions:
"Is there any famous person being managed by Sandbox Ent.?", asked an X user.

"People are saying are there any famous people like golden hour wasn't everywhere and didn't win Kasey album of the year right before Billie did", penned a third.
