Dillon Francis has signed with Los Angeles-based management powerhouse The Shalizi Group, with founder Moe Shalizi taking the lead. The LA producer and DJ departs TMWRK, and will continue co-management with Canopy Media Partners.
The deal builds on TSG’s aggressive expansion in the dance music space, the company recently signed Roddy Ricch and electronic duo Loud Luxury to its growing roster, which already includes Marshmello and Alesso.
Francis arrives at TSG on a career high. He was honored with the Impact Award at the 2026 EDM Awards, performed a major set at Stagecoach, and is currently mid-run on the Dillstradamus co-headline tour with Flosstradamus.
His latest single, “RIDDEM,” featuring Allenora and America Foster of Major Lazer, dropped May 29, 2026, following “Make You Move” and “What It Feels Like” featuring Daya.
On the representation side, United Talent Agency (UTA) continues to handle Film/TV theatrical in the US, THE·TEAM covers worldwide bookings, and Sacks & Co. remain on board for publicity.
Takeaways
This signing is a clear signal that The Shalizi Group is locking in a corner on the EDM market and Moe Shalizi is moving fast.
Adding a genre pioneer like Dillon Francis, someone who helped put moombahton on the map, racked up Latin Grammy noms, and has stayed relevant for over a decade, gives TSG real depth alongside its already stacked roster.
The co-management structure with Canopy Media Partners also suggests Francis’s team is playing it smart, keeping continuity while bringing in new strategic firepower. With the Dillstradamus tour rolling and “RIDDEM” fresh out, the timing is deliberate.
Does TSG’s growing EDM dominance put pressure on rivals like TMWRK to defend their dance music roster? Is the Shalizi Group quietly becoming the go-to home for EDM artists looking for more than just traditional management?
