Jonny Beaulieu - Founder | Artist Manager
Jonathan "Jonny B” Beaulieu is the Founder and CEO of BAM Artists, a Santa Monica based artist management, creative development and record label company dedicated to empowering musicians and storytellers with authenticity, integrity, and vision. With a background that spans music, film, and live entertainment, Jonny has established himself as a dynamic force in the industry, committed to creating meaningful art while protecting the people behind it.
In addition to his work with BAM, Jonny is also an Executive Producer of the independent film Clean Hands (Zach Braff, Esther McGregor); working on the film soundtrack further showcases his ability to bridge the worlds of music and film with projects that resonate on a human level. His cross-disciplinary approach reflects his belief that entertainment should be both impactful and sustainable, offering artists a path to long-term creative and personal fulfillment.
Jonny’s journey is deeply personal. Growing up in a family immersed in music and culture, he was shaped by both inspiration and loss. His aunt, Priscilla Presley, has long been an emblem of artistry and resilience, and Jonny himself has had to navigate the profound heartbreak of losing his close relatives Benjamin Keough and his cousin Lisa Marie Presley. These experiences have fueled his dedication to artist well-being, mental health, and building a safe, supportive environment for those pursuing careers in entertainment.
At BAM Artists, Jonny’s vision is clear: to build a community where creativity thrives without compromise. By championing raw talent, honest storytelling, and mental wellness, he is helping redefine what success looks like in the music and entertainment business.
