Chippy Nonstop has signed with Liaison Artists for live music and touring representation across North and South America. Agent Marlena Holland will lead the territory.
The Toronto-based DJ, producer, and rapper, born Chhavi Nanda, moves to Liaison Artists and continues with courage.world for music management.
Chippy Nonstop built her name over a decade-plus run through queer rave culture, blending acid, hardcore techno and electroclash into a sound she calls borderless, shaped by a childhood spent between Dubai, Zambia, Canada and the U.S. A high-profile deportation from the United States in 2015 over a visa issue pushed her to settle in Toronto.
That reset became fuel rather than a setback. In 2017, she founded Intersessions, a workshop series training women, femme, non-binary, and queer producers and DJs, with chapters now running across North America. She also throws Pep Rally, a recurring party built around inclusivity, and helped launch Toronto’s SOJOURN festival.
Musically, she’s been tapped by Major Lazer and has played at Panorama Bar, Boiler Room, SXSW, Mixmag’s Lab, and HÖR Berlin, on top of a 2023 Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. Her most recent release, the two-track “Famous” / “Talkshit,” landed via HARD Recs in June 2025.
The move comes as Liaison Artists, the independent San Francisco agency behind Honey Dijon, Bicep, Jayda G, and Sasha, keeps expanding. Its share of the Coachella 2026 lineup ticked up to 4%, from 3% the year before.
It’s also part of a broader wave of electronic acts locking down North American representation this year. Analog Agency signed Spanish-German duo AEREA for the region and brought UK breakbeat producer Denham Audio on board months earlier, both signs that agencies are racing to build out underground dance rosters ahead of festival season.
Takeaways
This one’s less about a shake-up and more about consolidation. Chippy Nonstop isn’t overhauling her team; she’s keeping courage.world for management and simply moving her North and South American bookings to an agency that’s been quietly climbing the festival-booking rankings all year.
For Liaison Artists, landing an artist with her cross-genre reach and community-organizing profile (Intersessions, Pep Rally, SOJOURN) fits a roster built on artists who move culture, not just crowds. It also lands right as the agency’s Coachella footprint is growing, timing that’s hard to ignore.
Does Liaison Artists’ growing festival share make it the go-to home for boundary-pushing electronic acts? How much does Chippy Nonstop’s advocacy work (Intersessions, Pep Rally) factor into agencies wanting to sign her? Could this move set up bigger U.S./Canadian festival bookings for her in 2027?
