Victoria Monét Signs With UTA

Victoria Monét, the acclaimed singer-songwriter who took home three Grammy Awards in 2024, has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for comprehensive representation. The agency will now guide all aspects of her career, with a particular focus on expanding her North American touring presence and securing opportunities in film and television. This partnership arrives alongside the release of her new single "Let Me," her first musical offering in two years, which many see as heralding a new album cycle. The track was crafted by producer Camper with contributions from Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman, Branden "B Mack" Rowell, and Cashmere Brown.

Monét's schedule is notably full, as she prepares to join Bruno Mars as a special guest on his European and UK "The Romantic Tour" this summer. The run kicks off in Paris on June 20, with performances scheduled for Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan, and London. This high-profile slot follows an extraordinary year for the artist, who won Grammys for Best New Artist, Best R&B Album for "Jaguar II," and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Her success is built on a foundation as a prolific songwriter; before her solo breakthrough, she co-wrote major hits for Ariana Grande, Khalid, and Kehlani. Industry experts suggest that touring with an artist of Mars's stature is a strategic move that can dramatically elevate an opening act's global profile and introduce them to vast new audiences.

Her career expansion extends beyond music. Recently, Monét ventured into publishing with her first children's book, "Everywhere You Are," released through Penguin Random House. She also delivered a notable speech during Grammy Week at a Black Music Action Coalition gathering. In her address, she offered a nuanced critique of industry dynamics, suggesting that practices like gatekeeping and nepotism are not inherently bad but become problematic when used without responsibility. "The music industry exercises both," Monét observed. "But I feel like instead of asking how we eliminate them... I would want to ask, how do we use them responsibly?" She advocated for those in power to act as intentional bridges, providing mentorship and access to emerging talent.

This viewpoint is shaped by her own journey, where collaborative songwriting sessions and key mentors were instrumental. Her new alliance with UTA—a powerhouse agency representing a vast array of top-tier creative talent—is viewed by analysts as a logical step to scale her influence into broader entertainment ventures. For context, United Talent Agency (UTA) was founded in 1991 and has grown into one of the world's leading talent and literary agencies, known for its integrated approach to building careers across multiple media platforms. Monét's core team remains intact, with Full Stop Management handling day-to-day management and King, Holmes, Paterno, & Soriano, LLP providing legal counsel, forming a strong foundation for this next phase of growth.
