Veteran US agent John Pantle is joining One Fiinix Live, the independent live music agency, set up by Ed Sheeran agent Jon Ollier.
Pantle, whose appointment is effective immediately, will be based in Los Angeles but will work remotely as part of One Finnix Live’s London-based team.
Pantle joins the company from his previous position as a partner at live music specialists Sound Talent Group.
He will continue to work with his existing roster of clients, which includes among others: Hatsune Miku, Julieta Venegas, La Santa Cecilia, Natalia Lafourcade, and Radwimps.
A professional in the entertainment business for over 30 years, Pantle has two decades of experience as an agent representing multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy award-winning artists.
He has previously held roles as an independent promoter and the Head of Development for the Club Network Division at House of Blues / Live Nation.
London-headquartered One Fiinix Live was launched in 2020 by UK booking agent Jon Ollier, whose personal roster includes Ed Sheeran, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Calum Scott, Hauser and 2Cellos among others.
The agency was launched following the end of Ollier’s nearly six-year tenure at CAA.
“In the short span of three years, Jon and his team have transformed the concept of the booking agency into a dream scenario – a team of individuals that infuse intelligence, focus, and flexibility to the modern-day challenges of the musician and creator.”
