UTA welcomes Emily Thorpe-Jones, previously with Various Artists Management, to their roster.
Emily Thorpe-Jones has joined UTA London as the lead for corporate and private events in the music division. In her new role, she will be responsible for organizing and managing events connected to the division's music clients [1][3].
Thorpe-Jones brings a wealth of experience to UTA, having previously worked at Various Artists Management as the global head of brand and corporate. During her tenure, she developed commercial strategies for artists such as Melanie C, Tom Grennan, The Libertines, and Rose Gray [2].
At UTA, she will work closely with the music division's diverse talent, although specific names tied directly to her role are not mentioned [1]. The division represents a wide array of artists, including recently signed acts like Mon Laferte, and notable digital creators like Emma Chamberlain and Charli D'Amelio, although these are primarily digital creators rather than music artists [1].
Thorpe-Jones will also collaborate with the music crossover team, led by Lucy Pullin, and UTA London's music brand partnerships division, led by Anna Gregorek and Irene Agbontaen [4][6]. Neil Warnock, co-head of UK music at UTA, expressed enthusiasm about Thorpe-Jones's appointment [7].
In her new position, Thorpe-Jones will work across UTA's full music roster, which includes artists such as Burna Boy, Tyla, sombr, Bad Bunny, Take That, Lizzo, and Zayn [8]. She will partner with UTA London's music brand partnerships division and the music crossover team to help artists secure brand partnerships and commercial opportunities in the UK and internationally [4][6][9].
Greg Janese, head of private and corporate events, emphasized UTA's commitment to global growth and world-class support for artists [10]. London is a key pillar of UTA's vision for offering world-class support for artists across all territories [11]. UTA has appointed Thorpe-Jones to the position of agent for private and corporate events [12].
Thorpe-Jones is thrilled to be joining UTA at a dynamic moment for the business, and she expressed excitement about the opportunity to push boundaries for music clients through integrated and artist-first brand, corporate, and commercial work [13]. UTA's global corporate/private event business is growing at a rapid pace [14]. Thorpe-Jones's unique combination of creative thinking and strategic execution is perfectly aligned with UTA Music in London's direction [5]. Her experience and network will be an invaluable asset in UTA's continued building of a global offering for artists.
Thorpe-Jones's new role at UTA London involves organizing and managing events connected to the music division's clients, with a focus on entertainment, particularly music. She will work across UTA's full music roster, collaborating with artists like Burna Boy, Lizzo, and Zayn.
