UTA has announced that leading music agents Jeffrey Hasson and Matt Meyer have joined the agency. The duo were previously with Paradigm.
Hasson will be part of the leadership team in the Nashville office, while Meyer will be based in Los Angeles.
"I'm so excited to join the UTA team, and a music department with such great momentum. The company's perseverance and navigation through these trying times has been very admirable,” said Hasson. “I can't wait to share all of UTA's incredible cross-department resources with my clients to help elevate their business."
“I am grateful to be joining the team at UTA during a time when they have showcased real innovation and done amazing work on behalf of their clients,” added Meyer. “Everyone has been extremely supportive of this next chapter in my career and I am looking forward to collaborating with my new colleagues to both expand my clients’ passions outside of music and creating a great touring business.”
