NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – Wasserman Music has signed 2024 CMT Listen Up Artist Angie K to its talent roster. Wasserman’s Nate Ritches will represent her for worldwide representation.
“I’m absolutely pumped; it’s gonna be a hell of a year! Wasserman has always felt like so much more than an agency,” shared Angie K. “They understand that we build communities and create safe spaces for our fans to come together and have a great time. It’s more than booking shows. It’s being intentional with where we go, who we serve and putting the fans first while having a blast doing it. There is no where I’d rather be and no one we would rather start this next chapter with than Nate Ritches and the team at Wasserman. See y’all on the road!”
“Angie’s diverse talent with broad appeal and potential excite us to see where her career will lead. We are honored and excited to be along for the ride, and thankful JR asked us if we wanted a seat at the Angie K table,” shared Ritches.
JR Schumann represents Angie K for management, Huskins-Harris for business management and Essential Broadcast Media for public relations.
Ritches continues, “Just as important as Angie’s artistry, she’s got a great team surrounding her vision and direction that only strengthened our decision to be in business together.”
The queer country artist first made her mark on Music City with a nod to her Latin roots when her first single, the bilingual “Real Talk,” catapulted her onto the country scene as a “Highway Find” on SiriusXM’s The Highway. The powerhouse vocalist just released a new track, “Death of Me.” It follows her recent release, “Red Dirt on Mars.”
Produced by acclaimed writer/producer and BMI Songwriter of the Year, Stephony Smith and co-written by Angie K, she explained the influence Smith had on her when it came to releasing “Death of Me” in a recent Holler Nashville Session sharing, “It’s a very vulnerable song, and I almost didn’t put in on the record, but I’m glad I did – just because of the stories I’ve heard of people relating to it.”
The 2023 CMT Next Women of Country artist has been in the studio working on her new music with Smith, who penned the smash hit “It’s Your Love” for Tim McGraw/Faith Hill and has received cuts from some of music’s biggest stars including The Chicks, Shania Twain, Barbara Streisand, Kenny Chesney, Terri Clark, Reba McEntire and more.
Angie K. was Born in El Salvador and raised in Georgia; her love for country music was nurtured from a young age. Her mother’s dedication, saving up to take her to the Grand Ole Opry, has come full circle as she prepares to make her Grand Ole Opry debut this Friday (August 16th), fulfilling a lifelong dream.
