Sound Talent Group
Veteran agent Randy Salcedo has joined Sound Talent Group, the boutique agency formed by Tim Borror, Dave Shapiro and Matt Andersen last year.
“It feels amazing to be joining such a young thriving company that has at its helm agents with amazing experience and reputations in Dave and Tim,” Salcedo told Pollstar. “I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
Salcedo comes to STG after a 17-year stint with CAA, and brings clients including The Sounds, INXS, Generation Axe, and RavenEye. While at CAA, Salcedo booked tours internationally as well as domestically.
“He’s another high-level agent with a lot of experience looking to do it a little differently,” Borror tells Pollstar. “Dave and I hadn’t really determined how we wanted to consider the international landscape. We wanted to get this company moving and be great at what we initially set out to do domestically. It wasn’t until Randy presented himself along with his knowledge and relationships that we felt there was a natural solution that could provide the right layer of service for any client when there’s a need.”
“Our No. 1 goal at STG has been to hire great people,” adds Shapiro. “We genuinely believe that if we do that everything else will fall Into place. Randy fits in perfectly with this initiative and has already shown that in the short time he’s been at STG. We look forward to seeing what a long future together will bring to fruition for STG and and Randy.”
STG opened shop about eight months ago with a diversity of clients including Black Label Society, Circa Survive, Ice Nine Kills, Knocked Loose, Lamb of God, Natalia Lafourcade, Opeth, Perfume and dozens of others, and recruited fellow agents John Pantle, Eric Powell and Jake Zimmerman shortly after launch.
