Veteran music agent Cheryl Paglierani has joined CAA.
Paglierani made the move from UTA, where she most recently served as a partner, signing and developing artists such as Post Malone, 21 Savage, Flo Mili, Jessie Murph and Dominic Fike, among many others.
21 Savage recently finished a 30-date North American Amphitheatre tour that sold over 140,000 tickets and will be headlining a number of festivals this summer across Europe, including Wireless, Roskilde, Splash! and Frauenfeld.
Paglierani has also worked with Post Malone from very early in his career and throughout his development to becoming a worldwide superstar. Post Malone has had the No.1 song for the past five weeks with his country release with Morgan Wallen, I Had Some Help.
“We are thrilled to welcome Cheryl to CAA,” said Darryl Eaton & Rick Roskin, co-heads of global touring. “Cheryl has a deep understanding of artists and how they envision their careers, and she brings the expertise and tenacity to help make that a reality. Her acumen, experience, and character will make her an outstanding member of our team.”
“It’s an incredible feeling to return to CAA,” said Cheryl Paglierani. “I’m excited to work with this extremely talented and driven team. I’ve been lucky to call so many of them friends for years and can’t wait to hit the ground running together.”
"Cheryl is highly respected in the music industry for her ability to identify and elevate emerging talent and foster the careers of superstars,” said CAA’s co-chairman and CEO Bryan Lourd. “Today’s announcement underscores the strength and momentum of CAA’s touring business and also speaks to the agency’s ongoing commitment to helping develop the careers of next-generation artists.”
Prior to joining UTA, Paglierani worked at The Agency Group.
CAA has booked more than 38,000 shows over the last year. It won Live Music Agency last month at the Music Week Awards.
CAA’s touring clients include, among many others, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, John Mayer, Doja Cat, Rüfüs Du Sol, Jelly Roll, Kelly Clarkson, Blink-182, Kelsea Ballerini, Peso Pluma, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Trevor Noah and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
