DOLLY JOINS WME
Dolly Parton has signed a North American deal with WME for representation in all areas.
“We believe that WME is uniquely positioned to help elevate Dolly and her brand at this wonderful stage in her career,” explained longtime manager Danny Nozell. “WME has a vast global network in the entertainment market, especially in the areas that we have strategically identified as priority such as licensing and unique commercial and touring opportunities.”
Parton has not had an agent for more than year, leaving APA in 2016.
Parton is currently developing a film based on her song “Jolene” for NBC. For about 15 years, she has been signing record deals with labels for one album at a time
Greg Oswald, Co-Head of WME’s Nashville office, said, “When we approached her team about the opportunity to represent Dolly, it became clear that this was an ideal marriage given her business aspirations and our capabilities across the WME network. We look forward to helping her build upon her success across multiple platforms.”
