Raleigh artist inks new talent management deal to propel next phase of career
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Championship Division, the tastemaker management and creative strategy powerhouse, representing cutting-edge talent across music, entertainment, and live events—is turning heads by signing Raleigh's genre-bending prodigy Ace Henderson to an overall management deal. This move marks a milestone for both the North Carolina-based artist and the L.A.-based agency.
Henderson, who recently delivered a standout performance at Raleighwood Festival, is set to headline a highly anticipated club show at Hopscotch Music Festival this weekend. Known for his commanding stage presence and genre-blending artistry, Henderson has become one of the Southeast's most buzzed-about voices.
After scouting Henderson for several years, Championship Division initiated serious talks in March 2025, ultimately solidifying an overall management deal. Under the agreement, A. Thomas Lampkin, President of Championship Division, will serve as Henderson's manager and as General Manager of the artist's newly established imprint in partnership with Sony Music through a joint venture with AWAL.

Championship Division is honored to walk with him into this next chapter and help amplify what he's building on a global scale."
The signing underscores Championship Division's commitment to identifying and nurturing next-generation talent poised to shape culture. For Henderson, the partnership represents not just a new era of music but the launch of an imprint designed to serve as a home for innovative projects and future collaborations.
Fans can experience Ace Henderson live during his Hopscotch Festival headlining set this weekend, with more music announcements forthcoming.
