Who We Are

Independent Artist Group (IAG) was formed in 2023 through the merger of Agency for the Performing Arts (APA) and Artist Group International (AGI). Together, we bring the best of both worlds: APA’s legacy as a full-service talent and literary agency, and AGI’s reputation as the premier independent music touring agency. Our combined roster spans superstar arena and stadium acts, breakthrough emerging artists, award-winning actors, comedians, and content creators.

At IAG, we are driven by innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking. We value diverse perspectives, sharp instincts, and people who thrive in a fast-moving, client-focused environment.
