Trance producer and DJ Roman Messer has signed with Corson Agency for exclusive live performance and touring representation across North America. The deal is spearheaded by agents Leo Corson and Clayton Lineberger.
Hailing from Russia, Messer has built a career spanning over a decade, releasing five artist albums with more than 36 million Spotify plays. His DJ sets have landed him at major festivals including Untold, A State Of Trance, Trancemission, and Tranceformations. He also runs his own label, Suanda Music, which has helped launch artists from Indonesia, Denmark, the US, and beyond.
Messer’s bookings were previously handled directly through Suanda Music rather than a dedicated agency
The signing extends an active year for Corson Agency in the trance space. It follows the agency’s North American deal with Ferry Tayle, the signing of his Mirage side project, and Irish DJ Paul Denton’s recent addition to the roster.
Takeaways
Corson Agency isn’t just picking up one-off names; it’s assembling a genuine trance bench in North America, and Messer is one of the biggest names on it yet.
For an artist who’s run his own bookings for years, handing that off to a dedicated agency signals he’s ready to push harder into US and Canadian festival stages rather than just guest-spot appearances.
Does this mean a full North American tour or festival run for Roman Messer is coming? Will Suanda Music artists also start showing up on Corson’s roster as a byproduct of this relationship? Could this trigger a wave of other Russian and Eastern European trance acts seeking North American representation?
