Eastern Kentucky singer-songwriter Hunter Flynn has signed with WME for global live music representation, with agents Lance Roberts and Geoff Turner guiding the deal. He previously held representation at UTA.
Flynn attended Eastern Kentucky University studying biomedical sciences before a 2021 car accident redirected his path toward music and art. After leaving an insurance job and moving back into his grandmother’s basement, he began writing songs and performing at open mic nights across Kentucky.
Over the last two years, Flynn has played nearly 200 shows across the United States and Europe, and in 2025 was named Artist in Residence at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. He has opened for the likes of Zach Top, Wyatt Flores, and Megan Moroney, and performed at Tortuga Music Festival in April 2026.
Most recently, Flynn signed with Big Machine Records/Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment, with the partnership launching alongside his new single “Wasted Day.”
WME has been aggressively building its country roster in 2026. The agency recently signed artists Belles for worldwide representation and US Two in a similar booking deal.
Takeaways
Hunter Flynn’s WME signing is less of a surprise and more of an inevitability, the pieces were already falling into place.
A record deal with Big Machine, a viral festival circuit, nearly 200 live shows under his belt, and a sound that’s genuinely hard to categorize (in the best way), Flynn isn’t a developing artist anymore, he’s an artist mid-launch.
Moving from UTA to WME at this particular moment, right as “Wasted Day” is beginning to find its footing at radio and streaming, suggests his team is thinking in full touring cycles now, not just individual dates. WME’s recent country signings also paint a clear picture: the agency is staking a serious claim on the genre’s next tier.
With WME now in place and a Big Machine deal already signed, could Flynn be eyeing his first proper headlining tour run before year’s end? Flynn built his fanbase entirely on the road, can WME’s global reach translate that grassroots energy into international markets without losing the authenticity?
