THE·TEAM, the global music and entertainment agency formerly known as Wasserman Music, has signed Canadian producer-DJ Murda Beatz for worldwide live music representation, excluding Europe/UK and Canada. Agents Benjamin Shprits and Cody Chapman will lead his bookings at the agency.
Born Shane Lee Lindstrom in Fort Erie, Ontario, Murda Beatz is one of hip-hop’s most decorated producers, with credits spanning Drake‘s chart-topping “Nice For What,” Travis Scott‘s “Butterfly Effect,” and Migos‘ “Motorsport.” He has production credits across eight Grammy-nominated albums.
On the artist front, he dropped several singles in 2025, including “Hood Politics,” “EUPHORIA,” and “Winter’s Over,” and kicked off 2026 with his latest single “Baby.”
THE·TEAM has been on an aggressive signing run, recently adding Massive Attack for worldwide representation excluding North America and Meek Mill for worldwide touring to its growing roster.
Previously, Murda Beatz was repped for international touring by 33 and West, and earlier by WME and CS3 Agency. His Canadian bookings continue under Paquin Artists Agency.
Takeaways
This signing says a lot about where Murda Beatz’s career is headed. He’s no longer just the hitmaker behind the boards, he’s building a full live performance brand, and linking with THE·TEAM signals serious intent.
With Benjamin Shprits and Cody Chapman in his corner, two agents known for breaking producers and DJs into major festival circuits, this move could unlock major U.S. festival slots and headline DJ sets globally.
Meanwhile, keeping Paquin Artists Agency for Canada shows a thoughtful, strategic approach to territory splits. For THE·TEAM, it’s another marquee hip-hop name added to a roster that already spans rock, electronic, and rap.
Could this deal signal that Murda Beatz is preparing a full-scale DJ/producer tour to rival names like Metro Boomin and Mike Will Made It on the live circuit? Does Paquin Artists Agency retaining Canada suggest Murda Beatz is planning a homecoming moment for Canadian fans?
