James (Jamie) Leslie of the successful boutique talent agency, Skyline Artists Agency, visits our MBR studios to discuss the day-to-day world of an agent. Skyline represents artists ranging from legendary & established acts like Chris Hillman, Marcy Playground, and The Rembrandts to new and emerging artists like Darlingside, The Foxies, and Scott Mulvahill. Though the agency is based in New Hampshire, Jamie works out of Nashville and keeps his ear to Music City’s fertile ground of emerging new talent and often credits MBR’s flagship station, Lightning 100/WRLT-FM, for strongly helping in the discovery and curation of this new talent.
He’ll talk about what he looks for when determining new artist signings, how an artist can get agency attention, what an effective artist team looks like, the challenges and benefits of being a boutique agency, and much more.
