Report: Paradigm Talent Agency to absorb MPA and Little Big Man

Authored by Jay Baage on August 6, 2007 - 4:56am.

Nashville. Monterey Peninsula Artists and Little Big Man will be fully integrated into Paradigm Talent Agency, according to sources Billboard has talked to. The two boutique agencies' names will be retired, effective August 13.

The former MPA will operate as Paradigm divisions in Monterey, Calif., and Nashville. MPA's roster includes the Black Eyed Peas, Aerosmith, Dave Matthews Band, Toby Keith, the Black Crowes and Gov't Mule. Meanwhile, LBM, whose roster includes such acts as Coldplay, Avril Lavigne, the Fray, Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys, will operate as Paradigm New York.

The home office for Paradigm remains in Los Angeles, where the company was founded in 1992 as an independent film, TV and literary agency by chairman Sam Gores.

"Basically what this does is it really puts us in this league of the big six agencies," Gores said to Billboard. "In terms of live performance, we have a world-class list now that really is second to nobody."

Where is he from? Who is he tied to politically? What's his birth nation? What religion is he? Who is he related to? What schools did he go to? Where can one find the agent's roster of Paradigm TA?
