OLLIER GOES INDIE

Ed Sheeran agent Jon Ollier has launched booking agency One Fiinix Live, after ending a six-year tenure at CAA. His clients include Sheeran, Anne-Marie, Lauv, 2Cellos and JC Stewart, among others.

Headquartered in London, One Fiinix Live will serve Ollier’s existing clients while developing strategies to maximize opportunities in a post-COVID-19 world. Emma Davis, Ollier’s longtime right hand at CAA, is joining the firm.

“After almost six years at CAA, where I learned a huge amount from some inspirational colleagues, I felt it was time to launch my own venture and realize the vision I had for a forward-thinking, innovative agency that could empower artists and help them reach new audiences,” Ollier said.

“It may seem counterintuitive, but I think this is a uniquely good time to launch a new business, as we enter the next phase for live music. There will be huge opportunities as we create new ways of thinking, and I believe One Fiinix Live is poised to play a leading role in that positive disruption. We are keen to turn the current challenges we are all facing into possibilities, and I encourage anyone who feels they have the same kind of mindset to reach out. Now is the time to embrace the change.”

Ollier started his career at booking agency Helter Skelter, moving to the Free Trade Agency in 2008, where he began developing his own roster and working with artists such as Sheeran, JP Cooper and Jamie Lawson. In 2015 he went to CAA as a senior agent and expanded his roster to include Anne-Marie, Lauv, Calum Scott, 2Cellos and Hauser.
