She recently signed a deal with EMPIRE. Previously, her booking was handled by THE\u00b7TEAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing is a big deal, not just for Denise Julia, but for Filipino music globally. She came up without industry shortcuts, built a fanbase organically through TikTok and raw songwriting talent, and is now working with one of the most powerful agencies in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pairing her with Caroline Yim, who has a proven track record of breaking R&amp;B artists on a global scale, is a smart and intentional move. With EMPIRE now behind her music and UTA handling her touring across two continents, the infrastructure is finally catching up to the talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can Denise Julia become the artist who truly cracks the U.S. mainstream for Filipino R&amp;B, and what does her touring rollout in North America look like? Does this signing signal that UTA is making a bigger bet on Southeast Asian artists as a growth market for live touring?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denise Julia, the Filipino R&amp;B singer-songwriter who turned a TikTok viral moment into a full-blown international career, has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for live music and touring representation across North and South America.
