TORONTO (CelebrityAccess) — Veteran talent exec Brian Swanson has joined the team at Canada’s Paquin Artists Agency in the role of Senior Agent.
Swanson joins Paquin from Northstar Artists with a client roster that includes Smash Mouth, Spin Doctors, Mike Dawes, Inn Echo, Eddie B, Chris Barron, Bad Bad Hats, and others.
“I’ve worked in conjunction with Paquin over the last fifteen years, handling touring across the USA for many of the artists on the Paquin roster” explains Swanson. “It’s very exciting knowing my entire roster will now have the same support behind them as our shared clients; Alan Doyle and Matt Andersen to name a few. Working with Paquin Artists Agency across the entire continent feels like an organic progression in our partnership, and I am looking forward to the years ahead.”
“Brian has been a trusted ally for many years. He brings added value to our clients in the USA and we are ecstatic to welcome him to the team” remarks PAA Co-President Julien Paquin.
The addition of Swanson is the latest in a series of moves strengthening Paquin’s agency business and follows the acquisition of APA Canada, partnerships with Loft Entertainment, Blue Crane Agency, Action Entertainment Collaborative, and continued expansion in its Exhibition & Theatrical and Brand Partnerships divisions.
