ICM Partners and Primary Talent International, its London-based music agency partner, hired international agent Pete Nash to work in the company’s New York City office, ICM Head of Worldwide Concerts Rob Prinz and PTI Head of International Matt Bates announced today (Sept. 24). Nash brings with him a client roster that includes Kings of Leon, Pet Shop Boys, Regina Spektor, Steve Winwood, The Struts, and Travis.

Nash’s hire continues the bolstering of ICM Partners’ International music division, which started with the partnership with PTI in March and includes the hiring of former WME agent Simon Clarkson last month.  Nash, like Clarkson, will work closely with PTI in London and comes to ICM from WME.   
“I have known Pete since early in both our careers and have shared many amazing artists,” Prinz said in the announcement.  “He is a tremendous addition to our already formidable International team, a great agent representing some legendary clients.  I am extremely happy to call him my colleague now for the first time.” 
Added Bates, “I was trying to book acts off Pete long before I was ever an agent, so to be finally be able to work alongside him is a privilege. His experience in the international market is second to none; his roster of incredible clients speaks for themselves. I couldn’t wish for a more perfect addition on our team to help navigate the new exciting music landscape that we are entering into.”
Nash previously spent almost nine years at WME where, in addition to his own roster, he worked with such artists as Alanis Morissette, D’Angelo, Duran Duran, Eric Church, Tegan and Sara, Vince Staples and more.  Prior to WME, he ran his own New York-based independent agency.  Nash also spent 17 years as a director of London-based powerhouse international agency Helter Skelter, representing artists like Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Wynton Marsalis, Blondie, The Fall, and Suede.
“Very excited to join an agency that is in growth mode,” Nash said. “The moves they have made to bolster their International footprint was the catalyst for me to make this move.  Looking forward to working closely with Rob Prinz and Matt Bates, who are longtime friends, and the teams at ICM and Primary.”
