Electra Star Management

What Electra Star Management does

Electra Star Management is a privately held boutique entertainment management firm headquartered in West Hollywood, California, representing film and television actors, comedians, and musicians. Originally founded as Yellow River Management and renamed to its current name effective January 1, 2011, the firm operates with approximately 15 team members across management, creative, production, and administrative roles, led by President Michael Blakey — an entertainment veteran who founded four record labels in partnership with EMI, Warner Bros., and Universal Music — and CFO/COO Robert Gandara, who brings prior senior finance experience from EMI Music, Sony BMG, and Live Nation. The company runs two core service lines: talent representation and career development for clients including Ron White, Billy Bob Thornton, La Toya Jackson, Sinbad, Scott Baio, Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees), The Boxmasters, and a roster of specialty performers; and TV/film production through Electra Star Productions, with a slate spanning reality TV, drama, horror films, and animated comedy. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging partnerships with major agencies (CAA, ICM Partners, APA, WME) and distribution platforms (NBC, Netflix, E!, CMT) to place clients across film, broadcast, cable, and streaming. Revenue is generated through individually negotiated talent management commissions and production participation, with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue figures.
