Twenty First Artists appoints new manager
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 28 January 2011
Twenty First Artists, the Universal Music-owned artist management firm, has announced the recruitment of Alex Katter to its London team, who will bring his existing management clients, including Leah Weller, Paul Lewis and Mr Wayne, with him. He previously spent four years at Safe Management before going it alone last year.
Twenty First Artists boss Colin Lester told CMU: “Alex is an excellent artist manager who will bring energy, enthusiasm and an exceptional track record of spotting exciting new talent to our company. He comes to us with several great artists and we are looking forward to helping him develop those while providing him with the support and infrastructure to expand his current roster”.
Katter, meanwhile added: “I’m delighted to be joining Twenty First Artists at such an exciting time for the company. Colin Lester is very ambitious and has a clear vision for taking the company forward and that’s something that really appeals to me. This move will allow me to continue developing my current roster while working with the team here to discover new artists who can have long-term careers and global, crossover appeal”.
As previously reported, Twenty First Artists recently announced an expansion into the Nordic market with the appointment of Sandji Tandan. At MIDEM earlier this week Lester said he had ambitions to make Twenty First Artists a truly global management agency.
