Direct-to-fan platform EVEN has appointed Josh Remsberg as Head of Commercial Partnerships.
The position at EVEN is a new one, the company said on Friday (September 25).
Remsberg most recently served as SVP, Head of Commercial Strategy & Revenue at Warner Records, leaving the label in a restructuring of its marketing and commerce teams in July 2025.
Remsberg will run the company’s commercial relationships across the music business, dealing with labels, distributors, managers, artist teams, and other partners.
His brief also covers EVEN‘s commerce relationships, including merchandise partners, plus what the company calls “key industry and chart-reporting organizations.”
He most recently served as SVP, Head of Commercial Strategy & Revenue at Warner Records. Warner Records’ US revenue rose 30% during Remsberg‘s tenure, and its US market share grew by 35%.
Remsberg brings more than 20 years of experience across commercial strategy, revenue, business development, marketing, and artist management. At Warner, he oversaw revenue, commercial partnerships, and strategic marketing for a roster including Zach Bryan, Benson Boone, and Teddy Swims.
“Josh understands both the creative ambition of artists and the commercial realities of the teams supporting them,” said Mag Rodriguez, Founder and CEO of EVEN. “As EVEN continues to scale, he will help us deepen our relationships with labels and partners across the industry and expand how they use EVEN STUDIO, to build stronger artist businesses and create more value around music.”
Before Warner Records, Remsberg spent two decades at Universal Music Group, most recently as SVP, Commerce & Business Development at Capitol Records. He moved to Warner Records in 2022 as SVP, Commercial Revenue.
“As EVEN continues to scale, he will help us deepen our relationships with labels and partners across the industry and expand how they use EVEN STUDIO, to build stronger artist businesses and create more value around music.”

At Capitol, his remit took in digital strategy and business development, digital deals, marketing technology, advertising, and the Capitol 360 Innovation Center.
As Head of Commercial Marketing, he worked on release strategies for artists including Katy Perry, Halsey, Paul McCartney, and Niall Horan.
EVEN says Remsberg also co-founded independent management company Art Associates, whose clients included Mayer Hawthorne, Gabriel Garzón-Montano, and Tuxedo.
“This is a moment when artists have more ways than ever to reach fans, but there is still an enormous opportunity to make those relationships more direct and more valuable,” said Remsberg. “EVEN is building something that works alongside streaming and the rest of the existing ecosystem while creating entirely new opportunities for artists and their partners.
“I’m excited to help bring that model to more of the industry.”
EVEN launched in April 2024 and sells music, content, and experiences direct to fans before releases reach streaming services.

The platform supports over 30 payment methods across 140 currencies and reports eligible sales to Luminate for Billboard chart inclusion.
Artists reach it through two products: EVEN Marketplace, a consumer-facing discovery platform, and EVEN Studio, a white-label product that turns artist websites into fan destinations.
The hire follows a run of partnership deals for the company. EVEN struck a multi-year agreement with Universal Music Group in February this year, establishing it as a direct-to-fan resource for the major’s labels and artists.
In June, EVEN partnered with independent music company Cinq Music to bring its tools to that company’s distributed roster.
Those deals followed earlier agreements with digital distributors including Too Lost and Symphonic in 2025.
EVEN says it has onboarded more than 500,000 artists, via direct signups and distribution partnerships, across over 3,000 labels and distributors in more than 110 countries.
Remsberg‘s appointment is the latest senior hire at the company, which named Lauren Wirtzer Chief Operating Officer in October 2025.
Wirtzer joined EVEN after senior roles at SoundCloud, UnitedMasters, and Instagram.Music Business Worldwide
