NLE Choppa Signs With Wasserman For Representation

NLE Choppa has signed with Wasserman for representation. If you’re looking for chill, NLE Choppa is not your guy. The Memphis-born rapper—who went platinum at 16 and now commands north of 17.5 million monthly Spotify listeners—has built his brand on full-throttle energy, clean-living contradictions, and a catalogue that toggles between raw menace and surprisingly introspective bars.

Now, he’s turning that momentum into management muscle, signing with Wasserman for representation just as he hits the road on Lil Baby’s WHAM World Tour. It’s a move that aligns one of hip-hop’s youngest disruptors with one

Ty Dolla $ign Signs With Wasserman As He Prepares to Release New Album

Ty Dolla $ign, whose stage name sounds like an accounting error but whose discography sounds like money, has officially left WME and signed with Wasserman. The new team: Matt Adler, Brent Smith, Tessie Lammie, and James Rubin. That’s four agents for one artist, which is either overkill or a statement of intent.

The agency switch comes as Ty readies his new solo album, TYCOON, set for release July 18 via Atlantic. Presumably, the title is aspirational, but also accurate—this is a man who’s quietly featured on half your playlist and probably owns a solid chunk of your summer memories.

He’s still managed by SALXCO and repped for PR by Biz3, meaning the business infrastructure remains unchanged. Only the outer shell—the shiny Wasserman badge—has been swapped.

Strategically, the timing makes sense. He’s fresh off Vultures 1 and 2, his very loud collaboration with Ye (the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Kanye West), which put him back in the cultural bloodstream like an intravenous drip of chaos and melody.

But Ty isn’t just the guy you call for a hook when The Weeknd is busy. His solo work has been influential in its own right—“Paranoid,”

Alec Baldwin Switches Agencies, Signs With UTA

In a move that feels half Shakespearean and half SNL cold open, Alec Baldwin has signed with UTA for representation. It’s not a reinvention per se—more like a veteran trading one agency playbook for another. Baldwin continues to be managed by Matt DelPiano, but with UTA now handling the deal flow, it’s clear he’s ready for a new chapter, or at least a tighter script.

Baldwin’s career, after all, doesn’t fit neatly into a single genre or awards category. Over the last four decades, he’s racked up three Emmys, three Golden Globes, and seven straight SAG Awards for transforming NBC’s 30 Rock into the Wall Street Journal of sitcoms. (If you were ever unsure what “vertical integration” meant, Jack Donaghy probably explained it to you, between scotches.)

He also landed an Oscar nomination for The Cooler, proved his stage chops with a Tony-nominated run in A Streetcar Named Desire, and took home an Emmy for impersonating a former president whose name we’ll just gently whisper into the cold void: “Trump.” Add to that a long-running podcast, Here’s the Thing, and a smattering of dramatic turns (The Hunt for Red October, Glengarry Glen

SBTRKT Signs With Primary Talent

SBTRKT, the famously elusive producer known for pioneering the post-dubstep, future-garage, alt-soul moment of the early 2010s—and then vanishing just as the zeitgeist caught up—has signed with Primary Talent for worldwide representation, excluding the United States. Because of course he did. You don’t build a career on mystique and then go full global. The man has brand integrity. He continues to be managed by Adam Golden at Zeya, whose job description presumably includes things like “coordinate tour logistics” and “maintain the enigma.”

Despite releasing music with the frequency of a lunar eclipse, SBTRKT maintains a devoted fanbase: over 600,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, clustered in taste-forward markets like London, Sydney, Melbourne, Los Angeles, and Brisbane. These are not passive listeners. These are people who still say “post-racial” unironically and believe Thom Yorke should be on every remix.

His latest project, the Turn Your Heart Around EP, dropped independently via SAVE YOURSELF—which sounds like a wellness prompt but is, in fact, the name of his label. The EP is a reminder that SBTRKT hasn’t just been hiding in a mask and a concept. He’s been quietly iterating,

Rico Nasty Signs With CAA

Rico Nasty has signed with CAA for global representation. She continues to be managed by Fly South Music Group and repped by a PR duo: Grandstand Media in the U.S. and Imran Malik Publicity in the U.K.—because when your brand of chaos is internationally recognized, you need multiple countries managing the volume.

Her latest project, LETHAL, dropped last month via Atlantic Records and sounds exactly like the name suggests: unfiltered, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore. The project is a return to form—but also a flex. It’s Rico at full blast, blending punk fury with trap maximalism, and reminding everyone that just because the mainstream shifted toward soft-spoken alt-rap doesn’t mean she plans to lower her voice.

With over 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and cities like Chicago, LA, and NYC showing up heavy in the data, Rico’s following isn’t niche—it’s just particular. They want volume. They want eyeliner. They want rage and glitter and someone who raps like she’s mid–WWE entrance.

She’s already left her mark on stages at Rolling Loud, Coachella, and Lollapalooza. And now that CAA is in the mix, expect to see her booked at even more venues

Rockin’1000 Signs With ITB: The World’s Biggest Band Finds a Booking Home

Rockin’1000—the self-described “biggest rock band on Earth”—has signed with International Talent Booking (ITB) for representation worldwide, excluding North America. Point agents Filippo Mei and Lucia Wade will lead the charge, while the group remains under the watchful eye of founder and CEO Fabio Zaffagnini.

What began in 2015 as a passionate plea to get the Foo Fighters to play Cesena, Italy—via a viral video of 1,000 musicians playing “Learn to Fly” in unison—has evolved into a global phenomenon. Think Glastonbury meets garage band. Rockin’1000 has since become a musical movement of over 100,000 musicians across more than 100 countries, performing massive rock covers with the full force of stadium-sized humanity. Picture 250 drummers, 500 guitarists, and a wall of vocals belting Queen—all on the same stage.

Their performances have electrified venues like Stade de France, Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park, and Brazil’s Allianz Parque. They’re less a band than a logistical miracle: a reminder that

3 Arts Buys A&A, and Your Favorite Tight End Is Now a Signpost for the Future of Talent Management

In a move that feels less like a simple acquisition and more like a plot point in the great convergence of sports and Hollywood, 3 Arts Entertainment has acquired A&A Management Group—a boutique sports talent shop best known for repping the NFL’s most eligible bachelor and Taylor Swift’s sometime jewelry model, Travis Kelce.

Founded in 2011 by brothers Aaron and André Eanes, A&A carved out a niche as high-touch career architects for a client list that reads like the red carpet at a GQ Sports issue release party: NBA standouts Jonathan Kuminga and Nah’Shon “Bones” Hyland, NFL Pro Bowlers Denzel Ward and Joe Haden, and model/TV personality Camille Kostek, among others. Most famously, they’ve helped elevate Kelce from elite tight end to crossover media darling, securing brand deals, podcast success, and reality show stints along the way. He didn’t just go to the Super Bowl. He brought Pfizer and Experian along for the ride.

Now, with A&A folded into the 3 Arts empire—known for producing The Office, Parks and Recreation, and managing A-listers across entertainment—the Eanes brothers’ athlete-first, brand-savvy philosophy will be scaled up to operate across

Prince Royce Signs With Wasserman, Continues His Reign as the Bachata Globalist-in-Chief

If there’s one thing Wasserman knows how to do, it’s take global icons and make them slightly more global. Prince Royce, the Bronx-born bachatero who made heartache sound like a dancefloor proposition, has officially signed with Wasserman for worldwide representation (minus the part of the world where bachata was arguably born). Because why not expand your empire—selectively?

Royce’s team remains a steady triangle: Walter Kolm Entertainment on management (the Latin music whisperer), Nieman Group on PR (because someone has to craft the headline when your heart gets broken in 4/4 time), and now Wasserman to handle the booking side of his eterna career trajectory.

This isn’t a case of artist-trying-to-make-a-comeback. Royce has never really left. He first broke out in 2010 with a bachata rework of “Stand By Me” that somehow turned a 1960s soul classic into the unofficial slow dance anthem of every quinceañera between Miami and Queens. He followed that up with “Corazón Sin Cara”, which was less a single and more a gentle reminder that beauty is skin-deep but charisma is eternal.

Since then,

Trey Songz Signs With IAG

Trey Songz—the man who helped a generation of R&B fans confuse love with texting at 2 a.m.—has officially signed with Independent Artist Group (IAG) for representation. Yes, that Trey Songz. The inventor of the “Sex Playlist” energy before streaming platforms made those literal, the crooner who somehow made the phrase “Neighbors Know My Name” sound like both a flex and a zoning violation.

With over 8 million monthly Spotify listeners, and core fanbases across Sydney, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta, Mr. Steal Your Girl is still very much on the playlist and in the bloodstream. His latest single, “Say the Word”, dropped this month as an independent release—because when you’ve already spent years signed to Atlantic and sold millions, sometimes you just want to whisper sweet nothings directly to your audience with no middlemen.

Trey, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson (which already sounds like a lost member of the royal family who moonlights at Drai’s),

Beau Mirchoff Has Signed With Principal Entertainment For Management

Beau Mirchoff has signed with Principal Entertainment for management, because when you’ve gone from teenage heartthrob in a high school hoodie to grown-man cowboy navigating family drama on horseback, it’s probably time for a team that can wrangle both ends of your IMDb page.

He still rides with IAG for agency rep, but Principal steps in now to help steer the broader narrative—which is important when your career begins with Matty McKibben on Awkward (yes, the moody, mysterious one) and winds up with you starring in Hallmark’s Ride, roping cattle and emotions in equal measure.

Mirchoff has always been something of a shape-shifter. He played the new kid on Desperate Housewives during its late-stage chaos era. He showed up in The Fosters and its spinoff Good Trouble, playing the kind of emotionally unavailable boyfriend that lives rent-free in Freeform viewers’ heads. And then there was Now Apocalypse, a fever dream of a show that dared to ask: what if sex, aliens, and existential dread were the same thing?

In film, he’s popped up in places you probably

Lupita Nyong’o Has Signed With WME

Lupita Nyong’o has signed with WME, because eventually even the most decorated talent on the planet needs someone to manage the gravitational pull of their own career orbit.

The Oscar winner, best-selling author, podcast host, and face of Afrofuturist excellence is trading up on the rep front—and not because she had to, but because this stage of the game calls for boardroom heavyweights, not just publicists with taste. She’ll continue to be repped by ID PR, but now with WME on deck, we’re officially in strategic expansion territory.

And Lupita’s résumé? It’s less “career” and more “galaxy.” She debuted by sweeping award season with 12 Years a Slave like it was a team-building exercise. Then came Black Panther, where she became the emotional anchor of a global juggernaut. Then Us, where she played both victim and villain and made it look like a TED Talk on duality. And this summer, she’s adding “Shakespearean lead” to her already-unfair résumé—playing Viola in Twelfth Night for Shakespeare in the Park, opposite Peter Dinklage and Sandra Oh, like

Li Yueru Has Signed With First Pick Management

Li Yueru has signed with First Pick Management, because even when you’re 6’7″ and dropping 20/20 stat lines on international hardwood, you still need someone to negotiate the fine print.

The Chinese basketball star—known for redefining what it means to be “dominant in the paint” with the subtlety of a freight train—joins an agency that reps Kaela Davis, Erica Wheeler, and Ajsa Sivka. But this isn’t just a client pickup. This is a declaration that First Pick knows where the future of global basketball is headed: tall, tactical, and from Changzhi.

If you’re wondering whether Li’s career reads more like a spreadsheet than a highlight reel, think again. She’s been anchoring Team China with Olympic poise and FIBA fury, casually racking up 22-point, 23-rebound games like she’s organizing pantry shelves. Her Tokyo Olympics run? Nearly 15 points and 8 boards per game. Her domestic dominance with the Guangdong

Jimmie Johnson Has Signed With WME

Jimmie Johnson has signed with WME, because when you’ve tied Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt for the most Cup titles in NASCAR history, there’s not much left to do but build an empire around the legend.

Seven-time champion. Two-time Daytona 500 winner. Eighty-three career checkered flags. Jimmie Johnson is what happens when longevity meets peak performance and never lets up. He didn’t just win—he engineered one of the most dominant eras motorsport has ever seen, including an absurd five straight Cup Series titles between 2006 and 2010. And now, in his post-full-time-racing era, he’s shifting lanes—from “GOAT” to “mogul.”

WME will represent Johnson in all areas, which is less about finding him work and more about building scaffolding for what’s already in motion. There’s Legacy Motor Club, the Cup Series team he co-owns and occasionally drives for. There’s the SiriusXM podcast, “Never Settle,” which he co-hosts with ESPN’s Marty Smith, a southern-fried deep-dive into sports, stories, and human drive. There are brand partnerships, media ventures, ownership

Offset Has Signed With Wasserman for Representation

Offset has signed with Wasserman for representation, because at a certain point in your post-Migos evolution, you stop trying to run the playbook and start trying to own the team.

This is not a small move. Wasserman is the kind of place you go when you’re thinking beyond the tour—when brand equity needs structure, not just style. Offset, still managed by Full Stop, joins a roster that knows how to build global franchises out of genre-benders, crossover acts, and cultural lightning rods. Which, let’s be honest, is Offset in a nutshell.

He was previously with IAG, but this is different. This is clean lines and long-term strategy. This is “I’m not just a rapper, I’m a property.”

Offset has over 15.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and if you’re mapping influence, you’ll find him blaring out of speakers in Chicago, Toronto, Dallas, L.A., and Sydney—because hip-hop globalization doesn’t need a passport, just bass. His most recent single, “TEN”, dropped on Valentine’s Day

Marsal Ventura Has signed With Analog

Marsal Ventura has signed with Analog for worldwide representation, which feels right for a DJ who treats genres the way tapas treats food groups—grab a little of everything, don’t overthink it, and make sure it pairs well with something loud.

Ventura’s not new to this. He’s been building dancefloors and twisting expectations since long before techno flamenco was something people took seriously—or Googled to make sure it wasn’t a typo. Now, he’s clocking 255,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, with Spain lighting up the heatmap like it’s voting in Eurovision. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Málaga—it’s less of a fanbase and more of a distributed rhythm section.

His latest remix, “Caballo Maldito,” blends techno kick drums with flamenco handclaps like it’s trying to out-seduce both Berlin and Seville at the same time. And somehow, it works. It’s not EDM. It’s not traditional. It’s… emotionally percussive. It’s what happens when you turn a Spanish horse chant into a club anthem.

Cordae Has Signed With Wasserman

Cordae has signed with Wasserman for global representation, which, in retrospect, feels less like a career update and more like a foregone conclusion. When your name sits comfortably in Grammy nominations, your Spotify streaming numbers hover around 5 million a month, and your top cities include Chicago, Sydney, and Toronto—well, you’re not freelancing the next chapter of your career.

Cordae’s not new to evolution. He started in the YBN collective, spun off into solo stardom with The Lost Boy, and built a reputation on being the guy who could hold his own in a rap cypher and also get dinner-table approval from your NPR-loving uncle. He’s the rare artist who raps like he’s writing a memoir but still sounds good in a playlist between Travis and Doja.

His latest album The Crossroads, released via Atlantic last year, doubled down on this duality. Features from Anderson .Paak, Lil Wayne, and even Ye—because apparently Cordae’s calendar can handle both therapy-core and ego opera—punctuated a record that felt equal parts confessional

He’s a father of three, a former gospel contestant on Sunday Best, and now, the first Black man in 22 years to win Idol—a feat last achieved by Ruben Studdard in 2003.

Netsky Signs with Wasserman

Netsky has signed with Wasserman for worldwide representation—excluding North and South America—because when your fanbase spans five continents and your genre of choice moves at 174 BPM, you need an agency that can keep pace without asking for a translation.

The Belgian producer, known for wrapping drum and bass in melody and serotonin, currently pulls in nearly 2 million monthly Spotify listeners, with top cities like Brussels, London, Auckland, Prague, and Manchester—essentially a map of places where people still believe in dance music as therapy.

His latest release, “Out of Body” with fellow Belgian Andromedik, came via Payday Records and leans into what Netsky does best: high-energy euphoria that somehow still feels personal. It’s not just DnB—it’s DnB with feelings, bottled and filtered through synths that sound like sunrise and regret in equal parts.

If you’re just joining the story: Netsky (real name Boris Daenen) came up through Hospital Records, where his early 2010s output

Getter Has Signed with UTA

Getter has signed with UTA for representation, which feels like the official next chapter for an artist who’s made a career out of doing everything a little bit sideways.

If you’ve ever had your ribcage tested by subwoofers in any of those zip codes, odds are Getter was involved.

Born Tanner Petulla, Getter built his name in the early dubstep explosion—first as the guy your favorite DJ was sneaking into sets, then as a bona fide headliner with his own cult following. He released early bangers on Firepower Records, got the co-sign from Skrillex’s OWSLA, and somewhere

DVBBS has signed with Ace Agency

DVBBS has signed with Ace Agency for worldwide representation, because when your discography still causes spontaneous crowd surges and your drop catalogue doubles as cardio, it’s probably time to recalibrate the booking strategy.

Ace will represent the duo globally, with North America (U.S. and Canada) handled in collaboration with IAG (Independent Artist Group)—a smartly layered setup for a group that plays both global mega-festivals and highly curated cross-genre shows.

Still managed by STRVCTVRE, DVBBS first detonated onto the scene with “Tsunami”, the 2013 hit that became EDM’s unofficial natural disaster. The 2014 vocal version with Tinie Tempah went No. 1 on both the UK Singles and Dance charts, and the track hasn’t really stopped echoing through festival fields since.

But this isn’t just nostalgia. DVBBS has 12 platinum singles, including “IDWK”, “West Coast”, “Tinted Eyes”, and “Not Going Home”. They’ve found the sweet
