It’s no surprise that Lana Del Rey and Evan Winiker hit it off because he is a fellow musician. Winiker was in the band Steel Train, along with Del Rey’s collaborator and producer Jack Antonoff. The band formed in 1999 but didn’t have all five members — Scott Irby-Ranniar, Antonoff, Matthew Goldman, Winiker, and Matthias Gruber — until 2002. The band released several EPs and one album before Goldman and Gruber left and were replaced by Daniel Silbert and Jon Shiffman. Steel Train released two more albums before they seemingly stopped making music in 2010. This might have been the end of Steel Train, but it wasn’t the end of Winiker’s time in the music industry.

Winiker had been a part of management labels for years before he became a managing partner at Range Media. His clients consist of a wide range of artists, including MAX, Daya, Disco Biscuits, and more. When it comes to how he manages his artists, Winiker only wants the best for them. According to Variety, he said, “As a manager, it’s always my goal to surround my clients with the best teams in all areas. This eco system is truly that. It’s an environment of forward thinking people who look beyond the boundaries and walls that are categorically put in place, allowing them to open new doors and reach new peaks that we dream up.”
