Grandstand Media was founded in 2013 by Kate Jackson, Meghan Helsel, Dana Erickson and Lisa Gottheil — four female partners with long and distinguished careers in the music industry and beyond.

Their passion for art, music and nurturing creativity has helped build Grandstand into one of the most prestigious and in-demand companies of its type, with staff and offices in both New York and Los Angeles. Grandstand believes that through art and music, people can share experiences and grow in their ability to understand and connect with one another. Artist’s voices are incredibly important, but they are one of the least supported groups in society. With a unique and thoughtful approach, Grandstand works to help and sustain artists and creatives by acting as translators to the outside world.
