MALIK FOLLOWS GOULDING OUT OF FIRST ACCESS

What’s going on inside Sarah Stennett’s First Access Entertainment? According to a 4/16 Variety post, Stennett has “terminated” her three-year managerial relationship with Zayn Malik.

The split with Malik means that First Access has now lost its two biggest acts, following the defection earlier this year of longtime client Ellie Goulding to Tap Management, joining a roster that includes Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa.

We can unequivocally confirm that First Access terminated the relationship, despite what some people have been spinning.

In another change, Cassandra Gracey, who’s spent 15 years with Stennett, has joined Sony Music U.K. as President of its newly launched creative division, 4th Floor Creative Group.

First Access’ remaining clients include Bebe Rexha, Rita Ora and new artist Madison Beer.
