EXCLUSIVE: 123 Agency Launches With Ex-Premier Acts

Ex-Premier Artists agent Damian Costin has launched his new company 123 Agency, taking with him a host of acts he's booked previously including Owl Eyes, Stonefield, Ella Hooper and Kingswood.

Costin was tight-lipped to theMusic.com.au when he left Premier mid-July, but today we can reveal that the 123 Agency is his new project. Today he told theMusic that the agency was still very much in its infancy but added “we're here to stay”.

The 123 Agency is not part of the Mushroom group.

The full artist roster he's brought with him features Ariela Jacobs, Blonde On Blonde, Cabins, Cairo Knife Fight, Calling All Cars, Dune, Ella Hooper, Hayden Calnin, Katalyst, Kingswood, Krista Polvere, Michael Paynter, Owl Eyes, Red Ink, Space Invadas, Stillwater Giants, Stonefield, Sun City and Undercolours.

Formerly booked by Costin and Premier, Loon Lake have now moved to Village Sounds and are being handled by Evan Davis.

Representatives from Mushroom have not responded to theMusic's request for comment.

123 Agency's website is yet to launch.
