Rocket Music Entertainment Group is a music company co-founded by Elton John, with the core of the business being focused on artist management. It is an international management company offering its artist clients support on a worldwide scale. Rocket combines its London office with integral recording studios available to its artists.

The company employs managers who come from various facets of the music industry, bringing with them an array of experience at major record labels, radio, talent booking and business affairs.

Elton John founded Rocket Sports with Luke Lloyd-Davies in 2012. It was through a love of sport and underlying desire to nurture sporting talent that the agency was launched and today, although the business has grown significantly, those principles remain at the heart of what we do. Rocket Sports represents several of Britain’s most successful athletes, including Dame Laura Kenny, Sir Jason Kenny, Geraint Thomas, Evie Richards, Josie Knight, Joe Fraser, and Lucy Campbell – between them, they boast an impressive 18 Olympic medals and countless world titles.

Although founded as a sports management business, nowadays Rocket Sport also works with a selection of sports teams, events, and federations to create iconic marketing partnerships between rights holders and brands across a variety of sports, including cycling, tennis, and athletics. Then in 2021, Rocket Sports took an exciting step forward by partnering with the International Olympic Committee’s Olympic Channel to create a unique crossover TV series partnering Olympic athletes with rockstars. The series saw Elton play a role as Executive Producer and Rocket Sports enter the content and production space.

In 2014, Elton played an acclaimed concert in Stoke Park, the proceeds of which formed the Elton John Sports Fund which is operated by the charity SportsAid. The fund provides grants to the next crop of promising sporting talent on an annual basis.

The first project under the new Rocket Pictures was Gnomeo & Juliet, the worldwide hit 3D animation released in 2011, featuring the voices of Emily Blunt and James McAvoy, as well as original songs by Elton and Bernie Taupin. This film grossed $200 million at the box office worldwide. Alongside this, Rocket produced two series of the critically acclaimed TV music show Spectacle: Elvis Costello with…
