Agent Sally Dunstone will head up the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KOJAQUE first turned heads with his concept debut <em>Deli Daydreams<\/em> (2018) and cemented his reputation with <em>Town&#8217;s Dead<\/em> (2021), which hit number one on the Irish vinyl chart and earned a Choice Music Prize nomination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His third album, <em>Phantom of the Afters<\/em> (2023), co-featuring collaborations with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/biig-piig\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biig Piig<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/gotts-street-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gotts Street Park<\/a>, pushed his sound further into global territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A frequent festival headliner with Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Pitchfork Paris, SXSW, and Electric Picnic on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9, KOJAQUE is also confirmed for Beyond the Pale in June 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He recently wrapped a run of intimate warm-up shows in Dublin and London, teasing new material under his &#8220;What&#8217;s the Mystery?&#8221; mini-tour banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing follows <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/absolute-lilt-signs-with-primary-talent-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Absolute Lilt&#8217;s move to Primary Talent International<\/a> this month and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/doggone-signs-with-primary-talent-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">doggone&#8217;s signing with Primary Talent International<\/a>, continuing the agency&#8217;s clear push to build out its Irish and emerging independent roster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sally Dunstone has been steadily growing her book of breaking artists since joining Primary Talent International from X-ray Touring in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KOJAQUE is managed by Heaven-Sent and represented for press by Toast Press and Soft Boy Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KOJAQUE signing with Primary Talent International feels less like a stepping stone and more like a statement. This is one of Ireland&#8217;s most artistically singular acts, a rapper who directs his own films, runs his own label, and has built an international live reputation almost entirely on his own terms, now aligning with one of the UK&#8217;s most respected independent live agencies. That&#8217;s a powerful combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s especially interesting here is the timing. KOJAQUE has been quiet on new music since <em>Phantom of the Afters<\/em> dropped in late 2023. His recent sold-out intimate shows in Dublin and London, billed as sneak peeks at new material, suggest something is around the corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new signing almost always signals a bigger live push is incoming. And with Beyond the Pale already confirmed for summer 2026, the pieces are very much moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sally Dunstone continues to build one of the most compelling books in the agency for breaking artists. KOJAQUE is arguably her biggest name yet, and the fit feels natural: an independent-minded artist with a global festival track record and a rabidly loyal fanbase, now with the infrastructure to scale up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could this be the step that pushes KOJAQUE into true festival headliner territory? What can independent artists learn from KOJAQUE\u2019s slow-build, story-driven career path?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name: KOJAQUE New Company: Primary Talent International Primary Agents: Sally Dunstone Department: Live Bookings Territory: International KOJAQUE, the Dublin-born rapper, filmmaker, and visual artist whose real name is Kevin Smith, has signed with Primary Talent International for live representation.
