Klaiman cites the launch of ASCEND4M as the culmination of his experience and a dream fulfilled: “Years in my head, months in the making, I’m thrilled to announce my own agency and label. Working with groundbreaking artists and culture-changing companies over the years, I’m grateful for the knowledge and skills gained from those experiences. I’m excited to partner with new and established artists and a broad range of media businesses as we lift for takeoff.”
Along with Tunespotter, ASCEND4M’s current roster of clients includes fast-rising Asian American pop band North Star Boys, signed by Klaiman at HITCO, releasing their first EP in March and recently completing their first sold-out North American headlining tour with their second EP slated for an October release; the singing sister trio sensation Sorelle, acclaimed finalists on the NBC TV series ‘The Voice’; Casey Baer, up and coming LA-based singer/songwriter and emerging TikTok star with multiple singles slated for release prior to her EP due out in October.
