Phil Casey Joins Resolution

Phil Casey, longtime agent at ICM Partners, has joined Resolution and, in the process, is working with a partner-in-crime from 40 years ago.

“After a long hiatus, Phil Casey, the best representative of urban music in the business, has rejoined his old colleagues,” Resolution partner Jeff Franklin told Pollstar.

Franklin, one of the partners at Casablanca Records, ran the ATI agency in the early ’70s and, through the acquisition of the Leo Leichter Agency, Casey became head of ATI’s West Coast operations.  ATI repped acts like AC/DC, Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne and Bob Seger before it was merged with ICM. 

Casey brings with him client Patti LaBelle and can be reached at the L.A. office.
