Voyage, the talent consultancy founded by music executive Spencer Moya, today announced that the company has been acquired by Select Management Group, one of the world’s leading talent management firms with a strong digital focus.
The acquisition is a major milestone for Spencer, who initially launched Voyage in the first half of 2022 to work alongside some of the most prolific and compelling artists in entertainment and lead their digital strategy efforts.
In partnership with Select Management Group, Voyage is now expanding its offerings to offer artist management services. Spencer will continue to run Voyage as a standalone enterprise within Select Management Group and will be based in Los Angeles.
Prior to founding Voyage, Spencer spent over a decade honing skills in the digital marketing and technology spaces. He spent almost 7 years at Interscope Records, spearheading digital strategy for Super Bowl headliners and multi-Grammy and Oscar Award-winning artists, and most recently led strategic partnerships with music artists and industry at Instagram and Meta.
A 3x Clio award winner, he has been named a Hitmaker by Variety and an industry-shaping LGBTQ+ executive by Billboard. While continuing to bolster its consultancy arm, Voyage will now also expand its offerings to include artist and talent management.
The company will offer these services across all Arts & Entertainment verticals, including music, tv & film, creative, and fashion.
“I initially founded Voyage to empower artists and talent to tell stories online and create an authentic digital presence on the world’s most powerful platforms, continuing my long-lasting effort to show artists and their teams how powerful a well-run digital strategy can be when thought of first and integrated fully into every part of an artist’s career,” said Moya.
“Given that mission, teaming up with Select Management Group was a truly organic fit for Voyage, and will supercharge our efforts to not only provide top-tier and best-in-class services to all of Voyage’s consultancy clients but also expand our service offerings to include artist management.
As we continue to invest in our global vision across both sides of our business, we are thrilled to have a trusted home at Select Management Group.”

Led by partners Scott Fisher, Lisa Filipelli, and Amy Neben, the company is multifaceted and operates businesses across talent management, production, consumer products, technology and more.
In 2020, the company entered into a strategic partnership with Propagate, led by Co-CEOs Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens.
“Spencer is creating an indispensable asset with Voyage,” said Lisa Filipelli, Partner, Select Management Group.
