If your kids, cousins or nephews love hip-hop, chances are Thomson books their favorite artists, including Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Lil Tecca and Destroy Lonely. Thomson, who also books heavily streamed indie acts such as Clairo and Keshi, started his career at Philadelphia’s Electric Factory Concerts in 2011 and joined CAA two years later.

Ken Carson. He has proven—based on ticket, record and merch sales—that he is indisputably the next real headliner in the hip-hop space.
After stints at CAA and Paradigm, Tannenbaum joined WME as a partner in 2021 and oversees the daily touring of country stars Luke Combs, Brantley Gilbert, Walker Hayes, Dustin Lynch, Martina McBride and The Red Clay Strays, among others.
Name a music figure you admire.
Live Nation’s Bob Roux. He is measured, honest, knowledgeable, humble and kind.
Tamaroff, who studied at Tufts University and Kings College London, got his start in the company mailroom; 22 years later, he represents a diverse roster of high-profile acts, none more so than superstar Olivia Rodrigo.
Name a music figure who you admire.
Dolly Parton. She is one of the most talented singer-songwriters of all time, champions child literacy causes and LGBTQ+ rights, helps uplift poverty-stricken communities and SHE OWNS HER OWN THEME PARK!

I have a six-year-old and a two-year-old, so… bourbon?
