The Hello Group India Signs Mumbai Live Band ONEmpire For Global Management And Bookings

The Hello Group India (THG India), a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment India and global entertainment company The Hello Group, has announced the signing of Mumbai-based six-piece live band ONEmpire to an exclusive worldwide management and bookings deal.

Formed in Mumbai, the band comprises members Zarir, Garth, Gavin, Vedansh, Ralph and Samantha. Over the years, ONEmpire has built a reputation as one of India’s most sought-after live acts, known for delivering high-energy performances that span generations of English music,from classics of the 1960s and 1970s to iconic anthems of the 1980s and 1990s, alongside contemporary global hits.

With dynamic stage presence and tight musicianship, the group has become a popular fixture at luxury weddings and high-profile social events across India and internationally, often transforming celebrations into concert-style experiences for audiences.

Beyond the live events circuit, the band has also stepped into the recording space, releasing original music described as anthemic modern pop-rock. Their releases reflect the same stadium-ready energy and melodic appeal that define their performances, positioning the band as both elite live entertainers and emerging recording artists.

A key milestone in their journey came when ONEmpire was selected to open for global pop-rock band OneRepublic during the group’s recent Asia tour stop in Mumbai, further cementing their reputation as a live act capable of sharing the stage with international talent.

Through the new partnership with THG India, ONEmpire is expected to enter a phase of strategic expansion, including international bookings, brand collaborations, global touring opportunities and further development of their original music catalogue.

Commenting on the partnership, ONEmpire said the band had been searching for the right management team and found strong alignment with The Hello Group’s artist-first approach. The band added that the collaboration marks an exciting new chapter as both teams work toward expanding the group’s global presence.

Taylor Jones, CEO of The Hello Group, said the band has already established itself with exceptional stage presence and musical expertise. “ONEmpire has conquered their niche with exceptional stage presence and musical expertise. Now it’s time to help the band branch out into new areas by bringing their own IPs and releases to life in a big way,” he said.

The signing marks another addition to THG India’s growing roster as the company continues to expand its representation across genres and formats,from chart-topping solo artists to leading live bands,further strengthening its role as a global platform for South Asian talent.
