Come along as we visit the Bay Area and chat with Sam Hunt, Executive Vice President and Managing Executive at Wasserman Music. One of the youngest to ever win Pollstar’s Agent of the Year in 2016, Sam oversees a powerhouse roster of electronica, indie, pop, and hip-hop artists including names like Diplo, Major Lazer, Flying Lotus, Jamie xx, Animal Collective, Run The Jewels, Big Boi, 100 gecs, Still Woozy, and Caroline Polachek. We learn what his day to day is like as an agent, where essentially his role is to do everything he can to improve and guide artist careers and provide opportunities and guidance - largely involving live performances and touring, but also brand deals, bigger picture projects, and concepts. Hear about some of the unique projects he’s worked on and how interesting challenges often provide creative fulfillment. We learn about Sam’s career journey, from working in record stores as a teen and in college, to working at a label and club in Chicago, to joining the upstart Windish Agency where he learned under Tom Windish who he still works with today. Sam drops some great advice for anyone wanting to be an agent or understand more of that side of the industry as well as insight into what makes a good agent and how to handle the highs and lows of artists you represent. Enjoy this look inside the life of an agent, what it’s like sharing a name with a popular country artist, and fun stories from throughout his career.
