Founded in 2023 by Ken Madson, Loyd Potts III, and multi-Platinum artist Chase Matthew, Ignition was built with one goal in mind: to fuel the next generation of music careers with purpose, passion, and long-term vision. What started as a focused mission to guide Chase’s rapid rise has quickly grown into a dynamic and forward-thinking entertainment company.

Rooted in Nashville and driven by the belief that great artistry deserves great strategy, Ignition manages a fast-rising roster of country talent including Chase Matthew, Austin Williams, and Trevor Snider. In addition to management, Ignition is home to a growing publishing arm, proudly representing Ethan Escue and Will Pattat—two voices pushing the future of songwriting forward.

Ignition operates with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach, blending artist development with strategic growth across touring, commerce, branding, and digital. With deep industry relationships and an unwavering commitment to building sustainable careers, we’re creating more than moments—we’re helping craft legacies.
