Wasserman Music Expands Team With Kevin Shivers, James Rubin and Cristina Baxter


Wasserman Music has announced the hiring of Kevin Shivers, James Rubin and Cristina Baxter — all from rival agency WME.

Over a 16-year run, Los Angeles-based Shivers advanced from WME’s mail room to become a partner in the agency’s music department, where he helped lead the hip-hop division and managed global A&R. He has represented artists like Tyler, The Creator, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Solange and Lil Baby, and is known for his mentorship of rising industry leaders and for advocating diverse representation. Over the years, Billboard has recognized him in its list of impressive young execs, its annual tally of top R&B/hip-hop power players and, most recently, as one of the key leaders in the global recorded-music business.
