On Monday, the executive and entrepreneur announced the news on his Instagram page.

Instead, he will focus his attention on his current roles: as a board member of HYBE, and CEO of HYBE America, the South Korean entertainment company. The announcement comes nearly a year after Braun’s direct management of his superstar roster was the subject of intense speculation. “After 23 years this chapter as a music manager has come to an end,” he wrote in a lengthy statement.

“I was really just 19 years old when I started. So for my entire adult life, I played the role of an artist manager on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And for 20 years I loved it.

It’s all I had known. But as my children got older, and my personal life took some hits. “Every client I have had the privilege of working with has changed my life, and I know many of them are just beginning to see the success they deserve,” he continued.

“I will cheer for every single one of them.” In his statement, Braun mentioned a number of his clients from over the years: Grande, Bieber, Andrew Watt, Lil Dicky, Tori Kelly, J Balvin, Demi Lovato, Zac Brown Band, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Steve Angello, Carly Rae Jepsen, PSY, and Quavo among them.
