JR Montes, Founder, CurrentMM

I have been in this industry for 29 years. I did not plan it that way. It just kept going.

I grew up around music. Moved from Houston to Nashville in 2002. Spent years learning how the business actually works by being in the room when deals got made.

I represented Salvador for 12 years. Took them from their sophomore slump to selling out 3,000-capacity rooms in major markets while growing their international business.

I managed Christine D’Clario for 12 years. Built the infrastructure around what she had already built. She ended up with 2+ billion streams, distribution through The Orchard and Capitol CMG, and one of the most recognizable voices in Spanish-language Christian music.

Along the way, I produced live events, built touring infrastructure for artists across faith and mainstream markets, worked with authors and literary clients, and spent a lot of time figuring out the gap between the US Latino market and the LATAM market.

I moved from Nashville to Orlando in the summer of 2025. That was a reset. I pivoted away from traditional management. CurrentMM is less of a company and more of a way of working. Small roster. Defined scope.

I work with artists, authors, and creators who already have something happening. My job is to find what is missing and build it.
