- Agnese Daverio joins outer/most as a new agent, anchoring the agency's expanding London office.
- Daverio previously served as Head of Programme and Production Manager at the Edinburgh International Jazz & Blues Festival, overseeing 40+ festivals and tours, before founding independent UK agency Avalanche Music Agency.
- Her genre-spanning expertise (jazz, Afrobeat, electronic, contemporary classical, soul, and experimental) directly strengthens outer/most's global reach across UK, Europe, and beyond.
- outer/most Co-Founder Todd Walker says additional artists from Daverio's roster will be announced over the coming days.
Outer/most, the independent booking agency founded by veteran agent Todd Walker, has announced that Agnese Daverio has joined its team as a new agent, strengthening the agency’s London footprint.
Daverio arrives with deep roots in the live music world. A graduate of Edinburgh Napier University with a Masters in Festival and Event Management, she joined the Edinburgh International Jazz & Blues Festival as an intern. She rose to Head of Programme and Production Manager, producing over 40 festivals and tours across Scotland, including collaborations with the Hidden Door Festival, Kelburn Garden Party, and Wee Dub Festival.
She also held roles at FMLY Agency and Music Works International before founding Avalanche Music Agency, an independent UK-based booking and artist development agency representing a genre-spanning roster across jazz, Afrobeat, electronic, contemporary classical, soul, and experimental music.
Much like Brian Sacripanti’s move to Innovative Artists earlier this year, Daverio’s signing reflects a growing industry trend of entrepreneurially-minded agents finding new homes at independent agencies built on creative rosters.
Outer/most’s roster currently includes artists such as Anoushka Shankar, Alfa Mist, Acid Arab, and Ásgeir.
“Agnese brings a combination of vision and taste to outer/most that we respect deeply,” said Co-Founder Todd Walker. “There’s a natural and complementary fit that further pushes us toward what’s next while elevating our global footprint.”
And just as Hannah McElroy’s recent company move signaled a new chapter for talent on the management side, Daverio’s step into outer/most marks a significant moment for independent booking on the European stage. Roster announcements are expected in the coming days.
Takeaways
Agnese Daverio’s move to outer/most isn’t just a headline, it’s a strategic statement.
An agent who built an entire agency from scratch, rooted in festival programming and artist development across genres most major agencies overlook, is now channeling that firepower through one of the industry’s most respected independent platforms. Outer/most just leveled up its European game in a meaningful way.
With Daverio’s deep ties to the European festival circuit, which artists from her former Avalanche Music Agency roster are most likely to make the jump to outer/most? Does this signing signal that outer/most is actively building toward becoming a transatlantic powerhouse with real UK-Europe infrastructure?
