ICM Partners Inks Deal With Jelani Aryeh
At just 19 years old, Jelani Aryeh has signed with ICM Partners, completing a team that includes Ammo for management and No Matter/Republic as the label.
Within ICM, Aryeh will be repped by Jacqueline Reynolds-Drumm, Kevin Jergenson, and Kyle Kernohan. Reynolds-Drumm is a major agent in hip-hop, repping Migos, Lil Baby, and Lil Yachty, all affiliated with Atlanta label Quality Control, distributed through Motown and Caroline of Capitol Music Group.
Jelani Aryeh hails from San Diego and blends genres of hip-hop, R&B and pop, with heavy use of synths in his production. He cites Odd Future and Brockhampton as influences, and is a founder of the Raised By The Internet collective of filmmakers, producers and songwriters.
ICM Partners is a major player in the hip-hop and R&B space, with connections to QC and J. Cole’s Dreamville label.
Internally, ICM elevated Andrea Johnson and five other agents to Partner last month.
