Paradigm Signs LeAnn Rimes

Sara Hertel – LeAnn Rimes

LeAnn Rimes has joined Paradigm for representation in all areas.

Her RAs at the agency are Jonathan Levine, Andrea Ambrosia and Matt Runner in Nashville and Scott Melrose in Beverly Hills. Rimes comes over from CAA. She is managed by Darrell Brown of Prodigy Management.

“I am honored and excited to collaborate with such a forward thinking, unique company in this next chapter of my career,” Rimes said in a statement. “Marty [Diamond], Jonathan, the worldwide team of Paradigm and I are going to create magic.”

Levine, co-head of Paradigm’s Nashville office, added “We’re honored to have LeAnn join our family of mavericks and are excited to support her as she continues to push the music industry forward.”

Rimes has seen regular success with her annual Christmas tours, which she did for many years. Her solo shows usually stage in theaters, with her most recent report being at Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction, Colo., Aug. 20, with a gross of $61,422 grossed on 925 tickets reported.

She ran up and down California last December, with highlights including $77,174 grossed in Cerritos; $75,928 in Palm Desert; $62,020 in Folsom; and $61,464 in San Luis Obispo. That tour also earned $83,805 in Tacoma, Wash., and $80,075 Ridgefield, Wash.

Rimes jumped into reality TV with hubby Eddie Cibrian for the VH1 reality series “LeAnn & Eddie,” several years after their marriage.
