(CelebrityAccess) — Wasserman Music has announced the expansion of its team with the hiring of veteran talent executives Kevin Shivers, James Rubin, and Cristina Baxter.

The new hires, effective as of January 6, will see both Shivers and Rubin join Wasserman Music Division’s Executive Leadership Team in what the company describes as its largest expansion since the division’s launch in 2021.

Shivers has been named EVP & Managing Executive and joins Wasserman from WME, where he served as a Senior Partner in the agency’s music division and co-director of its Hip-Hop/R&B team. During his tenure at WME, he represented artists such as Tyler, The Creator, Kali Uchis, Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby, Kid Cudi, Summer Walker, Kevin Abstract, Solange, and Jimmy Butler. In his new role at Wasserman, Shivers will remain based in Los Angeles.

Rubin, based in New York, has also been appointed EVP & Managing Executive. He, too, joins Wasserman from WME, where he was a Senior Partner in the agency’s music division and co-director of its Hip-Hop/R&B team. His client roster included Travis Scott, Tyler, The Creator, Solange, Bryson Tiller, and Wiz Khalifa, among others.

Wasserman has also named Cristina Baxter as Senior Vice President. Based in Los Angeles, Baxter comes to Wasserman from WME, where she rose to the rank of partner in the agency’s music division and co-directed its Pop and Rock teams. At WME, her client roster included Kygo, Carly Rae Jepsen, SOFI TUKKER, and Kali Uchis, among others.

“Kevin, James, and Cristina are highly respected leaders in the industry who exemplify the values on which our company is built,” said Casey Wasserman, Chairman and CEO of Wasserman. “We’re thrilled to have them join Team Wass during this exciting period of growth for our global music division.”

“I’ve long admired Kevin, James, and Cristina as both professionals and people,” said Wasserman Music President Lee Anderson. “It’s gratifying to now refer to some of our toughest competition as our newest teammates and partners.”
