London, Los Angeles & New York, 31st January 2022 Various Artists Management have announced ambitious plans for an increased presence in the USA with a new office in Los Angeles, which will serve as a base for its growing roster of artists.
The company, which was founded in 2008, has had a significant presence in the USA since 2016 and has now purchased a new property in the Hollywood Hills that will incorporate offices, studios and accommodation for its clients and guests.
Various Artists’ USA division, which has previously steered the careers of artists such as Charli XCX, who achieved widespread success with multiple hit records, is looking to build on its impressive achievements to date with Ashnikko, Barns Courtney and others with ambitious plans for its current roster, which includes Tom Grennan, Yonaka & Sad Night Dynamite among others.
Matt Luxon, CEO of Various Artists Management US said, “Since 2016 we have been building a significant presence in the US and have enjoyed success with a number of our artists. With so many exciting projects now coming to the fore it was time to ramp up our operations to provide the support and infrastructure that our artists need when working in the US and our new base in Los Angeles will be an amazing creative hub.”
Current and forthcoming US activity from the company’s roster of artists includes:
Barns Courtney, whose singles ‘Fire’ and ‘Glitter & Gold’ both achieved Gold status in America, has signed a new global deal with 300 Entertainment directly in the US and has relocated to Los Angeles.
