"I am excited to join Marc and his incredible team,” said Murrihy of the news. “This acquisition will significantly enhance the opportunities for all of our artists and their management, and I look forward to remaining at the forefront of the live music landscape and expanding our footprint throughout Asia Pacific."

WME Head of Music, Marc Geiger said: "This addition will help us continue to elevate the level of service we are committed to providing our clients around the world."
