United Talent Agency has signed John Legend, along with his production company, Get Lifted, for global representation in all areas. 

The EGOT-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-platinum musician has been celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album, 2004’s Get Lifted, with a world tour that started in May at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Legend has North American tour dates booked from August through December. Up next is an Aug. 23 show at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois. The last date on the books is Dec. 9 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California. 

Legend was previously booked by Wasserman Music’s Brent Smith worldwide.

Over the past two decades since releasing his debut album, Legend has earned 13 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award, and four Emmy Awards. 

“John Legend’s impact on entertainment and culture is unparalleled,” UTA Partner and Co-Head of Talent Jay Gassner said in a statement. “UTA is proud to support his artistic and entrepreneurial vision across music, film, television, books, brands, and beyond.”

UTA Partners and Co-Heads of Global Music David Zedeck and Sam Kirby Yoh added,  “John is a global musical icon and one of the most acclaimed, decorated artists of our time. The impact of his celebrated live performances powers his globally recognized brand the world over. We are thrilled to be joining his team.”

Outside of the recording studio and touring, Legend is a recurring coach on reality singing competition “The Voice,” where he will return for Season 29.  

Along with partners Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius, Legend co-founded Get Lifted Film Co., which is behind a number of acclaimed projects across major networks and streaming platforms including the Emmy-winning HBO documentary “1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed,” Paramount+’s “Loudmouth,” and Netflix’s hit series “Rhythm & Flow.” The company also has a publishing arm, Get Lifted Books. 

Legend also cofounded FREEAMERICA in 2014, which aims “to transform the conversation around criminal justice policies and combat mass incarceration.” Plus, he serves on the boards of Harlem Village Academies and Management Leadership for Tomorrow, as well as advisory boards for The Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice and Teach for All. 

In the entrepreneurial space, Legend launched his self-care brand, Loved01 in 2023, as well as dog lifestyle brand Kismet alongside wife Chrissy Teigen in 2024. 

Legend continues to be managed by Friends At Work’s Ty Stiklorious.
