Multi-platinum British DJ and producer Joel Corry has officially signed with The Gongaware Group for live music and touring representation in the United States. Agency founders Paul Gongaware and Layla Gongaware will personally oversee his American tour routing and festival bookings.
Corry broke onto global charts with his 2019 anthem “Sorry” and his multi-platinum 2020 single “Head & Heart” featuring MNEK. Over his career, he has earned five UK top-10 hits, released his debut studio album Another Friday Night, and headlined his long-running summer residency at Ibiza Rocks.
Corry maintained heavy momentum across 2025 and 2026 by dropping major collaborations, including “Stay A Little Longer” with Galantis and Izzy Bizu, alongside club tracks like “Stuck In A Loop”, “Whisper”, and “Devotion (Sweetest Emotion)”. He also remains a regular fixture at major global festivals like Tomorrowland and Creamfields.
Before joining The Gongaware Group, Corry secured US dates through THE·TEAM. For artist management, he continues with Milk & Honey and also retains Lucky Group for touring across Australia and New Zealand.
Corry’s signing highlights rapid 2026 growth for The Gongaware Group as it aggressively expands its electronic roster. The agency recently bolstered its house lineup by adding J. Worra for representation outside the Americas, while strengthening its bass ranks with earlier additions TYNAN and producer YDG.
Takeaways
Joel Corry’s move to The Gongaware Group marks a notable pivot toward high-touch, founder-led representation for his American touring operations.
Large talent agencies bring deep corporate connections, but fast-touring electronic acts often thrive when working directly with boutique agency leaders who can move quickly. Having Paul and Layla Gongaware in his corner allows Corry to secure dedicated, senior-level attention as he plots his next phase of US club plays, festival mainstages, and lucrative Las Vegas dayclub dates.
For The Gongaware Group, signing an artist with billions of global streams signals an important evolution. While the agency has established a formidable presence in club-focused house and bass music through signings like J. Worra, TYNAN, and YDG, Corry brings undeniable mainstream commercial appeal.
Adding an international chart-topper enhances the agency’s negotiation power when packaging tour bills and securing premium positioning on major American festival lineups.
Will partnering with a boutique agency help Joel Corry lock down more high-profile Las Vegas and Miami club residencies? Does signing an established commercial chart-topper like Corry signal that The Gongaware Group is ready to challenge legacy talent agencies for pop-crossover acts?
