WME has added Andre Belcourt to its roster of agents, bringing him on board as part of its Electronic Music Department. Based in London, Belcourt will report to Stephanie LaFera, Partner and Head of EMD at WME.
Belcourt makes the move from NGE Agency, and he’s not coming alone. He’s bringing a full client stable with him, including Bontan, Elliot Schooling & Liam Palmer, La La, L.P. Rhythm, Mad.Again, and Us Two.
The move was announced alongside a second hire, Will Marshall, joining from Primary Talent, with both appointments announced by Kirk Sommer, Global Head of Contemporary Music and Touring at WME.
Bontan, arguably the most prominent name in Belcourt’s portfolio, has been on a serious upswing. The Liverpool-born producer boasts multiple Beatport #1s, two BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes, and sold-out North American tours in 2024 and recently performed at SXM Festival 2026. 2025 also saw Bontan launch North Drum, his own record label.
This hire mirrors a broader pattern of top-tier agency movement in the music industry, similar to how James Simmons recently moved to CAA from WME and how Lucy Dickins joined CAA as Managing Director after exiting WME.
With Belcourt’s move, talent continues to flow in all directions, and WME is clearly still in acquisition mode.
Takeaways
WME isn’t slowing down when it comes to building out its electronic music bench. Bringing in Andre Belcourt from NGE Agency, with a ready-made client roster in tow, signals the agency is serious about deepening its hold on the underground and electronic music space from London.
The fact that he lands directly under Stephanie LaFera, one of the most respected figures in the EDM booking world, tells you everything about how WME is positioning this hire. For the artists making the move with him, this is a major upgrade in reach, resources, and global infrastructure.
Does moving to WME automatically open bigger festival doors for artists like Bontan and the rest of Belcourt’s roster? Which artist in Belcourt’s client roster do you think has the most room to grow under WME’s infrastructure?
