Jonny Stiegler
Co-Founder of The Beehive LA
Jonny Stiegler is a leading force in live entertainment and touring, driven by a mission to make touring more seamless for artists and their crews. In 2016, he co-founded The Beehive, alongside Vinnie Ferra, creating a community that specializes in translating artists’ creative vision from the studio into unforgettable live experiences for developing talent and global superstars. Based in Los Angeles, The Beehive operates as a year-round community for its “bees” – tour managers, musical directors, lighting directors, audio engineers, and playback techs, among other crew members. The company works closely with artists, management teams, and labels across all genres, bridging the gap between rehearsal and performance. Their capabilities for clients span from hiring a band to reproduction and arranging, creative production, playback programming, vocal production, and tour logistics, all underpinned by one principle: bringing the right people together to create amazing shows.
Beyond building world-class tours, the collective operates as a studio space and creative hub. Known for tailored tour strategies, meticulous attention to detail, and a focus on building cohesive collaboration within teams, The Beehive has established themselves as the go-to community-first space for fostering collaborations with producers, session musicians, and performers. Artists range from independent creatives to cultural powerhouses such as Halsey, Gracie Abrams, Rosé of BLACKPINK, Lizzy McAlpine, Gryffin, Masego, T-Pain, Madison Beer, Bebe Rexha, blackbear, and more.
Originally from Mobile, Alabama, Jonny’s path to touring was unconventional. After becoming a pole vaulter at the University of Alabama, he immediately took his talents on tour. Today, alongside building tours that define careers, he’s committed to mentoring the next generation of touring professionals, investing time and effort to ensure the industry is left better than he found it. When he’s not on a bus or plane, you’ll find him outdoors– fishing, hunting, and hiking.
