She’s also graced iconic venues such as Yoshi’s in Oakland and The Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre in Detroit, underscoring her consistent touring presence

They’ve performed at nearly every major festival stage, including Coachella, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, Primavera Sound, Fuji Rock, and Montreux Jazz Festival, cementing their reputation as a must-see festival band.

SBTRKT signs with ROAM for Americas representation. The British producer/DJ will be handled by ROAM in North & South America while Primary Talent International continues to represent him for the rest of the world; management remains with ZeyA. The timing follows ROAM’s launch from the Arrival Artists + ATC Live merger—creating a large independent footprint with deep festival reach across both sides of the Atlantic.

SBTRKT is sitting around ~800K Spotify monthly listeners, with strongest markets in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Los Angeles, and Brisbane. After a steady slide through the summer, the numbers spiked sharply in early September—an encouraging rebound that suggests renewed engagement around new dates and catalog discovery.

The latest release is the Turn Your Heart Around EP (November, last year), extending a catalog that includes the 2011 self-titled debut,

Saosin signs with Sound Talent Group (ex-UK/Europe) for representation. The post-hardcore band has tapped Sound Talent Group for worldwide representation excluding Europe and the UK, riding upward momentum in streaming and touring as they prepare for European shows this fall.

Formed on The X Factor in 2012, Fifth Harmony quickly became one of the decade’s defining girl groups.

Their streaming numbers reflect the buzz. They now pull in over

Samara Cyn has signed with Wasserman for representation, joining one of the industry’s most respected agencies while building on her rapid trajectory. She averages over 665,000 monthly Spotify listeners, with her strongest audiences centered in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, London, and Brooklyn.

Her most recent project, the backroads EP, dropped in June via Vanta Records. The release, featuring collaborations with artists like Smino and Sherwyn, blends neo-soul, hip-hop, and indie textures with emotionally candid storytelling. Framed as a lighter, more therapeutic counterpoint to her earlier work, it has helped position her as a distinctive new voice.

Samara’s live presence is also accelerating. She supported Smino on his North American Kountry Kousins Tour, performed alongside Lauryn Hill at Miami’s Jazz in the Gardens Festival, and opened for Nas on the Illmatic 30th anniversary tour in London. She has already collected

Cody Simpson has signed with CAA for representation, a move that suggests his eclectic, shape-shifting career is entering yet another act—and possibly its most strategic one yet.

Remember Cody Simpson? Depending on when you tuned in, that name might mean bubblegum teen idol, acoustic heartthrob, CW actor, or elite-level swimmer training alongside Australia’s best. And somehow, he’s been all of those things—just not all at once. First came iYiYi and Pretty Brown Eyes, the singles that sparked his early ascent in the early 2010s, followed by major tours like Welcome to Paradise, The Acoustic Sessions, and a stint opening for Justin Bieber on the Believe Tour—aka, peak Belieber era.

But as his pop contemporaries doubled down on music, Simpson zagged. He ditched the major-label machine for independent releases, studied acting, and started training in the pool again. Not metaphorically—literally. He made the Australian national team and swam at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

This latest shift to CAA—while he remains managed by Best Friends Music—feels less like a comeback and more like a consolidation. At 27, Simpson is no longer trying to outrun

Bebe Stockwell has signed with TMWRK for management, joining a roster known for guiding alt-pop and genre-defying acts through the chaos of early stardom and brand-building. She continues to be repped by Wasserman on the live side, keeping her booking infrastructure in place as the team expands.

Stockwell’s latest release, Driving Backwards, dropped in May via Columbia Records, marking a breakthrough moment wrapped in hazy melodies, lowercase emotions, and a sonic palette somewhere between dream-pop and windshield reflections. The album pushed her monthly Spotify listeners north of 500,000, with top markets in Denver, New York City, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles—a geography that reads like a college-radio heatmap in motion.

She’s been quietly climbing the alt-pop ranks since her debut EP and early buzz on platforms like Ones To Watch and Lyrical Lemonade, where she’s been praised for a voice that’s soft but self-possessed—part
