Cupid Theory, the Los Angeles-based storytelling and artist services company, today announced the signing of 2-time Billboard #1 music producer, audio engineer, and songwriter Lee Rouse for management. Lee Rouse joins Cupid Theory under the guidance of Producer & Artist Manager Andrew Wetzel.
Based in Nashville, TN, Lee Rouse has built a reputation as one of rock and pop's most versatile behind the scenes forces, specializing in production, mixing, and mastering. He is best known for his work with global pop/soul powerhouse Teddy Swims and for helping guide The Funeral Portrait to back-to-back #1 Billboard rock hits.
Rouse's credits span releases with Madball, alongside Illenium, Savage Hands, Issues, and Glasslands. His work has appeared across major labels including Warner Music, Atlantic Records, and Better Noise Music. Most recently, Lee Rouse earned, yet again, another major radio milestone for his work on Outlier's "Graveyard Masterpiece", as the track landed airplay on SiriusXM's Octane, one of the most influential stations in active rock.

Known for helping artists translate their vision into records that connect, Lee Rouse joins Cupid Theory with a clear focus on creative growth and long-term artist development:
"I've learned a lot about what I need from a team over the years, and Cupid Theory checks every box. They listen, they show up, and they genuinely care about where I'm headed. That means more than people realize."
As Cupid Theory continues to expand its management footprint, Andrew Wetzel, Producer & Artist Manager at Cupid Theory, shares what makes Lee Rouse such a natural fit for the company:
"I'm very proud to welcome Lee to the Cupid Theory family. In the time I have known him, Lee has demonstrated immense talent, work-ethic, and integrity. He brings a calm, steady confidence to the driver's seat of every session that I truly admire."
