WME’s Kevin Shivers Wins Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players’ Choice Award
Kevin Shivers, WME partner, is the winner of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players Choice Award in 2024.
Over the last 16 years, Shivers has risen from working in the William Morris mail room to becoming a partner in WME’s music department, where he shares leadership of its hip-hop division and oversees global A&R. After growing up on Motown, then immersing himself in the Austin music scene while at the University of Texas, Shivers moved to Los Angeles and was mentored by veteran agents Brent Smith and Dave Wirtschafter. He now works with a roster that includes some of the most notable names in the game, from Tyler, The Creator — who will bring his beloved Camp Flog Gnaw festival back to L.A. in November — to Snoop Dogg, Kali Uchis, Lil Baby, Kid Cudi, Summer Walker, Solange and other greats.
