A DIAMOND IS A ROSTER'S BEST FRIEND

Paradigm Talent Agency has named Marty Diamond the Head of Global Music, leading the agency's formidable talent roster in representation worldwide.

The role also includes heading Paradigm's music executive leadership group, and serving on the boards of Paradigm's international partners, London-based Coda Music Agency and X-ray Touring.

Diamond came to Paradigm in 2006, when the company acquired his celebrated boutique agency Little Big Man Booking, which Diamond founded in 1994.

An architect of the music division's expansion over the years, Diamond's personal client roster includes Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Halsey, Janelle Monáe, Sigur Rós, Sara Bareilles, Liam Gallagher, Sia, Lorde, Alessia Cara, Bastille, Snow Patrol and more.

"Marty's passion, his intelligence, and his dedication to building amazing careers for artists has been an inspiration to me and everyone at Paradigm for the last 13 years," said Sam Gores, Paradigm Chairman and CEO. "Leadership is not something you are given, it's something you earn, and Marty has unquestionably earned it, along with everyone's respect at Paradigm."

"I'm so proud of the team we've created here at Paradigm, passionate and artist-centric to the core," said Diamond. "Now, where did you say this story was running?"
