Greg Ham

Greg Ham is the founder of the artist development company one:eight entertainment.
Ham says the name one:eight was inspired by “Three of my favorite verses foundational to me are 1:8 verses,” he shares.” That’s Daniel 1:8, which is ‘Daniel purposed in his heart,’ and it’s a cool story. And then Joshua 1:8, which is ‘Be strong and courageous,’ and Acts 1:8, which is ‘You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you’ — so to me, power from above to bring hope to the world. We are an artist/creative development company with global perspective, and those three verses are at the very core.”

Greg represents the careers of Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, CeCe Winans, Olympian Scott Hamilton and others. Greg also manages Robert Deaton, an Emmy award winning director/producer.

Greg was previously a partner in The MWS Group, a multi-rights entertainment content company. Greg has spent the last 30 years in the Music/Entertainment business helping launch the careers of artists like dcTalk, Audio Adrenaline, Rebecca St. James, Geoff Moore and many others. He started his career at ForeFront Records in 1989 where he held multiple positions leading up to President in 1998.

In 2004, Greg took the role of Executive Vice President of Business Development for EMI CMG worldwide. He served on EMI (Capitol, Virgin Records) Global Marketing team working with such greats as ColdPlay, Janet Jackson, Beatles 1 (Album).
