Written by djfrosty on September 13, 2023
CAA has signed Alesso, the agency tells Billboard.
Alesso was previously represented by UTA, who will continue to represent him in the European Union, with CAA repping him in all other territories.
The Swedish producer has been a marquee name in the global dance/electronic scene since breaking out amidst the EDM boom of the early 2010s. He continues to be managed by Moe Shalizi and Adam Chaves at The Shalizi Group. In 2020, the producer signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chapell Music.
The Alesso catalog has produced three Billboard Hot 100 hits — most recently the Katy Perry collaboration “When I’m Gone,” which peaked at No. 90 in March 2022. Ten of his tracks have hit the top 10 on Billboard‘s Dance Mix Show/Airplay chart, with his 2014 Tove Lo collaboration “Heroes” spending four weeks at No. 1 on the tally. Other collaborators include OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Calvin Harris, Liam Payne, James Bay, Marshmello, Swedish House Mafia, Hailee Steinfeld, Florida Georgia Line and Anitta.
Aleso’s catalog has generated 772.9 million on-demand streams in the United States, according to Luminate.
In June, Alesso played the UEFA Champions League Final Kickoff Show along with Anitta and Burna Boy. His latest release is the Dillon Francis collab, “Free.”
A longtime Las Vegas regular, this year Alesso has held down a residency at Hakkasan. His 2023 tour schedule has included dates at Ultra Music Festival as well as Ultra’s two festivals in Africa, along with Bonnaroo, Serbia’s EXIT Festival, Tomorrowland and Untold. The remainder of his 2023 tour schedule includes EDC China and EDC Orlando.
