History
[edit]In 2014, Oseary announced that he was forming a joint venture with Live Nation Entertainment to establish a management group, amalgamating with other managers and their companies into one venture. Oseary originally was joined by Reign Deer's Larry Rudolph and Adam Leber, Blueprint Group's Gee Roberson, Cortez Bryant and Shawn Gee, Quest Management's Scott Rodger, Spalding Entertainment's Clarence Spalding, Laffitte Management's Ron Laffitte and I Am Other's Caron Veazey. All nine managers combined their companies together, rebranded them and their respective employees as "Maverick" on October 17, 2014.[1]
In March 2015, founder Madonna released her album Rebel Heart, featuring the Maverick logo on the back cover. This signified a new collaboration between Oseary, Madonna's manager, and Live Nation Entertainment as a management group, not a record label.[2]

On August 3, 2018, the band Aerosmith joined the Maverick under Larry Rudolph, who has managed Steven Tyler since 2014.[6]
