06 January 2021 - Press release

Rob McGee, former agent at The Empire Agency, joins the ranks of FMLY Agency, the global talent agency who represent a growing roster of artists worldwide, as well as festival programming consultation and a newly formed Artist Management arm.

Rob brings with him an impressive roster of artists including Baby Strange, Beach Riot, Chloe Foy, Janet Devlin, Lazy Day, RDGLDGRN, Shawn James, Tebi Rex, THUMPER and Tusks among many others. They will be joining existing FMLY clients including Jay Electronica, Petite Noir, Roots Manuva, DJ Koze, Nabihah Iqbal and Orchestra Baobab. With more artists signing to FMLY than ever before, it’s a very exciting time for the agency who used 2020 as a period of growth and development.

FMLY Director Amber Brzeski says:

“We are over the moon to start 2021 by welcoming Rob to the FMLY. 2020 was a tough year for our industry, especially the agencies. Rob has unfaltering dedication to his artists, a rare commodity as an agent and will complement our existing team. Working closely alongside founder Darren on the live side of the agency, we look forward to seeing what 2021 brings, and we are very excited to see our FMLY grow.”

FMLY has focused on strengthening their live roster with well established artists Mr Eazi, Ghostface Killah & Tangerine Dream, as well as adding some very exciting up-and-coming acts lau.ra, Eliza Legzdina, Marlowe & Pink Siifu. The addition of Rob and his artists brings an extra depth to the roster, along with unbridled enthusiasm.

Rob McGee said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for not only me, but my artists as well. As we look forward to a more positive year with new opportunities and the return of live music, I hope to bring much to the table at my new home, as well as learn from some of the best.

Darren and the team at FMLY are fantastic and their ethics are very much in line with my own. I have always respected them and I’m now proud to be working alongside them. It’s been a challenging time for us all, but we’ve made it this far and I know we’ll all be back stronger than ever. We’re ready for live to return, in whatever shape or form - you can count on that!”

Further praise comes from artists & managers that work with Rob:

“Insomnia Music are thrilled that Rob is bringing Janet along as part of his move to FMLY. His obvious passion for live music is eclipsed only by his infectious positivity and drive - we know our artists are in safe hands! Working with Rob has been a delight. Janet's successful online business is a great foundation on which to build and we know that Rob is going to propel Janet Devlin into the live space, which is an incredibly important objective of ours.” - Insomnia Music

"Rob is a legend and continually goes over and above to make things happen; especially mindblowing given the incredible challenges we've faced this year. I'm so happy we are still going to be working together in 2021, it's thanks to him that my tour in the Autumn is going ahead, and I can't wait to see what else we're going to achieve next year!!" - Janet Devlin

“We are both thrilled and excited to be part of Rob’s move to FMLY. We are lucky to have a very close-knit team around Baby Strange and Rob continues to play a huge role within that. Eighty4 Music and Baby Strange wish to congratulate Rob and thank him and FMLY for allowing us to continue our journey together as part of their impressive roster.” - Gavin Harry (Eighty4 Music) & Baby Strange

“We are delighted to bring THUMPER to join Rob in his new home at FMLY, he is that sometimes rare breed in an agent, a true music fan and his work on building the band throughout Europe over the last 2 years means we would follow him wherever he goes, the fact it’s with the great team at FMLY is just an added bonus.” - Joe Clark (CWB)

 With tours and festivals already being announced, 2021 looks like it’s going to be a step in the right direction, and with their team and roster growing, it’s all eyes on FMLY.
