Meet the Team

Degy Entertainment was started as a management firm in 1996.  After several years of successful label signings, publishing signings, and licensings, Degy choose to enter the booking world.  In September of 2001, Degy Booking International, Inc. launched as the booking arm of Degy Entertainment, and quickly grew to a client base of nearly 100 music acts. Over time, the company developed specialties in the college and military booking fields, and became one of the most prominent agencies in the world for such niche bookings. The company now books over 2000 events each year while working with some of the biggest names in the entertainment business.

Ari Nisman

President/CEO

Ari is the President & CEO at Degy. He started in music with modest internships at record labels, and signed his first band to a management deal at age 20. That was the starting point of Degy where he built the business in his bedroom in a rental house at The University of Michigan. Degy was first formed with his business partner as a management firm and later refocused its business into a full-service booking agency in 2001. Outside of business, Ari likes to play tennis, golf, play cards, travel (which he does a little too much of), and most importantly, spend time with his wife and twins.

Evan Schaefer

Evan Schaefer

Chief Operations Officer (COO)

Evan’s personal and professional career path is nothing short of incredible. After the tragic loss of his mother in 2000 and father in 2005, he knew that he had two options for his life path. He could either allow the tragedy get the best of him or use the adverse experience as a foundational pillar that shapes the rest of his life. As his parents would have wanted, Evan chose the latter.
