Wright was recently made a partner at UTA as well
United Talent Agency (UTA) has promoted James Wright to Co-Head of UK Music Group. He will work alongside fellow Co-Head Neil Warnock out of the agency’s London office while also representing Lizzo, Take That, John Legend, David Byrne, Jacob Collier, Underworld, and more.
Wright joined UTA in 2015 after its acquisition of The Agency Group.
He previously served as an agent at Elastic Artists and A&R Manager for Candid Records.
Wright: “Leading the London music group with Neil at such a pivotal time is incredibly exciting. Our focus is on signing exceptional artists and continuing to build a team culture that is inclusive, collaborative and accountable, where a colleague’s win or an artist’s success genuinely feels like a win for everyone.”
Warnock: “It’s been a privilege to watch James grow into not only a first-class agent but a thoughtful, trusted leader. His intelligence, self-deprecating humour and razor‑sharp instincts will be instrumental in shaping the next chapter of UTA’s global music business.”
