The New York-based French founded his own Bigshot Touring Artists agency in 2001, whereupon he helped nascent artists such as The Decemberists become touring juggernauts. He joined Paradigm in 2009 before coming aboard CAA a decade later. There, he works with rock acts such as Tame Impala, the National, Pixies, Modest Mouse and boygenius, which jumped from theaters to arenas on their 2023 tour.

Favorite festival you’ve ever attended?

Bonnaroo, 2013. The National played right before Tom Petty closed out the night in the pouring rain. Tame Impala played too. It was perfect.
