Our Story

Our role: Music management agency
Our mission: Support independent artists

Goosethumps was originally founded as an event company that would showcase local DJs & producers in Chicago. A group of avid SoundCloud diggers, we knew of too many artists making incredible music who were not performing live. This is what we set out to change.

From 2019-2022, we threw shows at art studios, office building rooftops, and other off-the-grid destinations, creating paid performance opportunities and exposure for talented up-and-comers in electronic music. In this time, we put 51 different artists in front of thousands of fans locally in Chicago and digitally across the world.

We grew closer to the community, and over time, more prevalent needs made themselves apparent – professional representation, booking expertise, and long-term career guidance. In pursuit of our mission, we decided to target these needs head on, moving the company into artist management full-time in 2023.

Today, we are focused on the careers of three remarkable Chicago producers. Between them, you will find galaxy-bending future sounds, love notes for emotional exploration, and dynamic late night dance cuts. Check out our roster here.

Our goal is to build our internal team and help as many artists as possible. If you are interested in joining Goosethumps or collaborating in any capacity, send an email to [email protected].
