Grammy-winning rapper, actress, and entrepreneur Eve has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for worldwide live music and touring representation. Agents Justin Hill and Max Lee will handle her account.
She previously held representation with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and continues with Lucky Management for management and The Chamber Group for publicity.
The signing comes at a peak moment for Eve. In February 2026, she officially became a 2x Grammy winner, receiving a long-overdue Recording Academy Honors award for her role on The Roots’ classic “You Got Me.”
She has also announced a 15-date Europe and U.K. headline tour launching in October, marking the 25th anniversary of her landmark album Scorpion. Festival bookings at Love Saves The Day and Boomtown Fair are also confirmed, with more dates expected.
UTA has been actively building its live music roster in 2026. The agency recently signed techno artist Trym for U.S. representation and expanded globally with the signing of Rubii across the Americas.
Beyond music, Eve has built a formidable career across film (Barbershop, XXX, Whip It), television (Eve, Queens), and literature, releasing her debut memoir, Who’s That Girl?: A Memoir, co-written with hip-hop journalist Kathy Iandoli, in 2025.
Takeaways
This signing is more than a routine agency switch, it’s a statement. Eve is stepping back into the spotlight at full force, and UTA is clearly betting on her momentum with a worldwide deal at a time when she has a Grammy upgrade, a major anniversary tour, and festival season bookings already locked in.
For an artist who helped define female rap in the late ’90s and has consistently reinvented herself across entertainment, this feels like the beginning of a well-timed second act, not a victory lap.
With UTA now handling her worldwide live touring, could Eve’s Europe and U.K. run extend into North America and beyond in 2027? How will UTA leverage Eve’s multi-hyphenate brand, spanning music, TV, film, and publishing, beyond just live touring? What does this signing say about UTA’s broader strategy to compete for established legacy hip-hop acts in the live space?
