He continues to be managed by Vector Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known professionally as MOD SUN, an acronym for &#8220;Movement on Dreams, Stand Under None,&#8221; the artist previously held booking at United Talent Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the recording front, his most recent album <em>God Save the Teen<\/em> (2023, Big Noise Music Group), produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/john-feldman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Feldmann<\/a>, marked his second consecutive pop-punk release following <em>Internet Killed the Rockstar<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He appeared across all three stops of the Vans Warped Tour 30th Anniversary in 2025 and is already confirmed for the festival&#8217;s 2026 run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ROAM, launched in 2025 as the largest independent booking agency, has been aggressively building its roster. Earlier this year, the agency signed <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/oli-xl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Imani Graham<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/imani-graham-signs-with-roam-for-representation-in-north-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">representation in North America<\/a>, and also brought on <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/oli-xl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oli XL<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/oli-xl-signs-with-roam-for-worldwide-representation-excluding-north-south-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">worldwide representation excluding North and South America<\/a>.<\/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 makes a clear statement. Mod Sun has been one of the more road-tested names in the pop-punk-meets-hip-hop space, and landing at ROAM, the agency that came out of one of the biggest agency mergers in recent independent music history, signals he&#8217;s actively building toward a new era of touring infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that Maxx Lesnick, who previously worked at Arrival Artists, Wasserman, and Paradigm, is co-heading the deal adds real weight here. With Vans Warped Tour back in full swing and Mod Sun locked in for the 2026 dates, the timing of this signing couldn&#8217;t be more strategic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vans Warped Tour is back and Mod Sun keeps showing up on the bill, is he positioning himself as one of the defining festival faces of the tour&#8217;s revival era? With <em>God Save the Teen<\/em> now two years old, could this booking shakeup be a signal that new music, and a major headline tour, is around the corner?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mod Sun, the Bloomington, Minnesota-born singer, rapper, and multi-instrumentalist born Derek Ryan Smith, has signed with ROAM for booking representation in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America.
