LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Paladin Artist announced the hire of former ICM vet Brandon Zmigrocki, who joins the company immediately in an artist development role, focusing on the punk, indie, and pop scenes.
Zmigrocki will start his new gig at Paladin immediately and will be joined in the jump by his clients such as Anti-Flag, The Chats, Sloppy Jane and Thick.
“I am beyond thrilled to be joining the team at Paladin Artists,” says Zmigrocki. “It’s truly an honor to be working under the leadership of Steve Martin and Andy Somers; furthermore, I am very proud to be in the trenches alongside such an incredibly talented group of agents and clients. For myself and my roster, I could not think of a more complimentary home than Paladin.”
