(CelebrityAccess) — A group of veteran talent including Ali Hedrick, Erik Selz, John Bongiorno, Karl Morse, and Ethan Berlin – formerly of Paradigm, along with former Billions Corporation COO and PLUS1 Founder Matt Yasecko have partnered to launch brand new independent agency, Arrival Artists.
At launch, the new agency will represent a substantial roster that includes Les Claypool, Sufjan Stevens, Calexico, The Swell Season, Martin Sexton, and, Twiddle among others.
“There was no concerted effort to figure out who we were — it really fell together naturally, within about a month, our group took its current form.” Erik Selz told Billboard, noting “we have constructed a model where the rising tide lifts all ships, all the way down to the entry level assistants.”
At launch, the agency will also include Jenna Neer, who will serve as Director of Marketing, and Jess Bumsted, who has been named Agency Associate.
Additionally, Arrival is launching a partnership with ATC Live in Europe to provide global representation for clients.
