Theanne helped establish Steve Aoki as a global EDM superstar by securing major festival gigs and Ibiza residencies.
Michael Theanne, the longtime manager for Steve Aoki, Cheat Codes and Deorro, passed away on Saturday after collapsing near his home in Los Angeles. He was 45.
As Aoki's manager in the United Kingdom and other international territories since 2008, Theanne shepherded Aoki's international career. He helped establish Aoki as a leading global EDM artist by securing him headlining slots at major European festivals, such as Tomorrowland, and booking his Ibiza residencies, including this summers' run at Amnesia.
Theanne collapsed when returning home from a hike with his dogs. A coroner's report is pending. He is survived by his wife Elena and baby daughter Luna. "Michael’s incredibly warm, loving and generous spirit impacted all around him," his family said in a statement."We know that many of you will join us as we continue to carry Michael in our hearts forever. At this time, our family asks that we be allowed to process this devastating and sudden loss in private. Information regarding a funeral and memorial will be forthcoming."
