UK agent Neil O’Brien will launch a new agency as part or his company in March.
Motion Agency, based at the company offices in Soho, London, will initially represent a roster of 25 artists including Ocean Colour Scene, Public Image Limited, Cast, The Fratellis, Alabama 3, Spin Doctors, Sleeper, Echobelly, The View, Stereo MC’s, Incognito, Huey Morgan, The Twang, The Enemy, Roachford and emerging artists Toby Lee, Pastel, Shambolics, Pistol Daisies and The Jacques.
MD Neil O’Brien said “I formed my company in 2007 so will be celebrating 18 years as a 100% owned independent this year and I have always been proud of the range of artists I have had the good fortune to work with. Over the last few years, the company has gone from strength to strength incorporating some incredible agents into what I do and signing some truly great artists. It felt like the right time to create a home where these artists are given the right attention and exposure. As the company grows, Motion Agency will be committed to continuing to develop artist careers and I am confident the team of myself, Greg Woodcock, Jamie Kelly, Ross Leslie and Sal Ridsdale will be creating a home where our knowledge and understanding of our markets will benefit all of our clients. It is an opportunity to grow a brand dedicated to great rock n roll, soul, funk and rock genres.”
