Nashville, TN – January 27, 2025 – COLLIDE Talent, a bold new artist and influencer management company founded by industry veteran Sabrina Butera, officially launches today. With a unique vision to bridge the worlds of creative artistry, business development, and brand partnerships, COLLIDE Talent offers a full-service platform for artists, influencers, and entrepreneurs eager to elevate their careers and expand their brands.

The company’s initial roster includes emerging country artist Austin Snell, who is co-managed with River House Artists’ Zebb Luster; beauty influencer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of DIBS Beauty Courtney Shields; and Five Marys Ranch, a family-run business that raises premium-quality, dry-aged meats and clean tallow products from pasture to plate. Butera will help enhance the brand’s presence and spearhead new business ventures.

“I’ve spent my career building relationships and helping talent thrive, and now, with COLLIDE Talent, I’m excited to bring my vision of merging creativity with business development to life,” says Sabrina Butera, Founder of COLLIDE Talent. “The goal is simple: to combine the creative and commercial worlds, maximizing opportunities for my clients. My focus is not just on managing careers, but also on forging impactful partnerships and driving long-term growth.”

A recognized leader in the music industry, Butera brings over 14 years of experience representing some of the world’s biggest names in music. As a Music Agent at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), some of her roster included Lauren Alaina, Austin Snell, Austin Williams, Bryce Leatherwood, Walker Montgomery, and more. Now, Butera is leveraging her extensive network and expertise to create innovative management solutions for a new generation of talent.

“I’m not just managing talent; I’m focusing on growing it—building brands, expanding opportunities, and creating pathways for success across multiple industries,” Butera continues. “COLLIDE Talent will be a platform where artistry and commerce don’t just coexist—they collide, creating something bigger than the sum of their parts.”
