She is represented at UTA by Caroline Yim\u00a0and\u00a0Jonathan Briks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement, made on March 11, 2026, confirms that UTA will work to secure opportunities across live touring, brand collaborations, and more.<a href=\"https:\/\/news.pollstar.com\/2026\/03\/11\/uta-signs-rico-nasty-for-global-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing is similar to other recent UTA music deals, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/bradeazy-signs-with-uta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BradeAzy signing with UTA<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/residente-signs-with-uta-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Residente signing with UTA for representation<\/a>, signaling UTA&#8217;s aggressive push to build out its hip-hop and alternative rap roster.<a href=\"https:\/\/news.pollstar.com\/2026\/03\/11\/uta-signs-rico-nasty-for-global-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal arrives at a pivotal moment in Rico&#8217;s career. Her third studio album\u00a0<em>LETHAL<\/em>, dropped in May 2025, earned strong praise for its rock-leaning and genre-defying sound. She later released the deluxe edition\u00a0<em>LETHAL-ER<\/em>\u00a0before year&#8217;s end.<a href=\"https:\/\/news.pollstar.com\/2026\/03\/11\/uta-signs-rico-nasty-for-global-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rico first broke onto the scene in 2016 with &#8220;iCarly,&#8221; which went viral on YouTube and established her signature &#8220;Sugar Trap&#8221; sound. Collaborations with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/lil-yachty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lil Yachty<\/a> (&#8220;Hey Arnold&#8221;) and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/doja-cat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Doja Cat<\/a> (&#8220;Tia Tamera&#8221;) helped cement her cult-favorite status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She&#8217;s also expanding beyond music: she&#8217;ll appear in a recurring role on Apple TV+&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Margo&#8217;s Got Money Troubles<\/em>\u00a0alongside Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman, and previously appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/rihanna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rihanna&#8217;s<\/a> Savage x Fenty Show for Amazon Studios.<a href=\"https:\/\/news.pollstar.com\/2026\/03\/11\/uta-signs-rico-nasty-for-global-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to joining UTA, Rico was repped by CAA for touring through agents <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/agents\/jenna-adler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jenna Adler<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/agents\/kasey-mckee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kasey McKee<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/agents\/cameron-kaiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cameron Kaiser<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/agents\/carly-james\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carly James<\/a>.

She&#8217;s entering a new phase: bigger stages, broader brand deals, and a full-on entertainment career that stretches well beyond rap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UTA&#8217;s &#8220;global representation in all areas&#8221; language is telling, this isn&#8217;t just about booking shows. They&#8217;re positioning her as a multi-platform star. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a TV acting debut on a prestige Apple TV+ series and a rock-forward album under her belt, Rico is clearly building toward a much larger cultural footprint. The question isn&#8217;t whether she can break through, it&#8217;s how wide that ceiling really is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name: Rico Nasty New Company: United Talent Agency (UTA) Primary Agents: Caroline Yim &amp; Jonathan Briks Department: Music \u2014 Global Touring &amp; All Areas Previous Company: Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Territory: Global Rico Nasty, born Maria Kelly, has officially signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for global representation in all areas.
