UTA continues London expansion with new music agent Sophie Roberts
12 March 2020 - Press release
Leading talent and entertainment company UTA today announced that Sophie Roberts will be joining the rapidly expanding London office as a Music Agent. She will report directly to Neil Warnock MBE, UTA’s Head of Global Touring.
Neil Warnock said “I’m thrilled to have Sophie join our ever evolving team here at UTA, she is a consummate agent, not only working on global clients but equally at home developing new talent from the ground up.”
Roberts previously worked as an Agent at 13 Artists in Brighton, where she progressed from Assistant to Booker and then Agent. During this time, Roberts worked on tours for clients such as Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Blossoms, These New Puritans, Interpol and Gaz Coombes. She also developed a diverse roster of clients including The Amazons, Juniore, Bailen, Teeks, WOOZE and Pip Blom, among others.
Prior to 13 Artists, Roberts served as Programming and Production Manager at Green Door Store in Brighton, where she also ran an in-house promotions brand.
Roberts’ announcement comes after a series of hires for UTA’s London office towards the end of 2019: Sam Gill (Nubya Garcia, Akala, GZA, KRS-One, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80) and Beth Morton (Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters, JD McPherson, Ren Harvieu, Southern Avenue) both joined as Music Agents, whilst Cleo Thompson left Burberry to expand UTA’s Brand Partnerships team into London.
