The Deal Riff: In an industry where the next big hit can come from the most unexpected places, UTA has not missed a beat. The talent agency powerhouse has just inked a deal with the harmonious blend of soul and sound, The War And Treaty, for booking representation, and it’s not just for show — they’ve got exclusive worldwide representation in all areas. That’s right, we’re talking the full monty: music, film, TV, and even theater.
Backstage Pass: The War And Treaty isn’t just any musical act. Founded in 2014 by the dream team of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, this husband-and-wife duo isn’t just climbing the charts — they’re bulldozing their way through. Teaming up with Zach Bryan on the track “Hey Driver,” they revved up to the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 faster than you can say “Encore!”
Mic Check at the CMAs: And speaking of encores, they might just need one at the upcoming CMA Awards in Nashville, where they’re not only nominees for vocal duo of the year but also slated to grace the stage with their presence. Get those lighters — or, well, phones — ready!
From the Agent’s Desk: UTA agent Buster Phillips can barely contain his excitement. He’s all about those “commanding vocals and stunning harmonies.” And from the sounds of it, he’s ready to knock down walls for these two — let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, though.
The Artists’ Chorus: The Trotters? They’re over the moon. Tanya’s buzzing about the reunion with long-time collaborator Buster Phillips, and Michael’s feeling like part of the UTA family already. Their goal? To turn The War And Treaty’s name into one you’ll find not just on Spotify playlists but also on movie credits and theater playbills.
Encore Performance: This isn’t their debut by any means. The War And Treaty are already Americana royalty, snagging titles left and right — from emerging artist of the year to artist of the year, and not one but two wins for duo/group of the year. And with their latest album, “Lover’s Game,” fresh out of the studio with tracks that have fans hooked, it’s clear this duo is on the fast track to even more monumental moments.
So, what’s next for The War And Treaty with UTA tuning their strings? If history’s any indication, we’re in for a show-stopping performance across all stages — and screens. Keep your eyes (and ears) peeled, because this is one act that promises to be as unforgettable as their music.
