On September 21st, via an “exclusive announcement” through Dan “Steiny” Steinberg and W. Luke Pierce’s seminal podcast, Promoter 101, and followed today by numerous other outlets, a new, and somewhat unique agency was formed by a coalition of former WME, Paradigm, Madison House and CAA agents, known as MINT Talent Group. 

Following last month’s announcement of TBA Agency, an agency formed by former Paradigm agents, MINT Talent Group is the second in what we expect to be a slew of new agencies, management companies, record labels, publishing companies and more forming from the inevitable deconsolidation of the music industry, a de-construction if you will, that has been long overdue. At the helm of MINT Talent group are CJ Strock, formerly of WME, Patrick McAuliff and Phil Eganthal, both formerly of Paradigm. Also on board in the initial announcement are agents Mary Allen and Cassie Siegel, formerly of Madison House Talent, Ryan Owens and Michael Morris, formerly of Paradigm, Logan Handelsman of CAA and Peter Wiederlight of WME.
