Agents Alex Baranello, Matt Reinberg, Jonathan Briks, and Kevin Jergenson will lead the relationship. He continues with Views Management for management and holds a recording deal with Columbia Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing is well-timed. Born Evan McDonald in 2007, Slayr started releasing music independently at 13 before breaking through with his seventh mixtape, <em>Half Blood<\/em>, in November 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project went viral on social media, piled up millions of YouTube streams, and earned him a Fader feature. The deluxe edition, <em>BloodLuxe<\/em>, followed in March 2026, adding ten new tracks and production from prettifun and M8I. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also stepped onto bigger stages this year, announced as a direct support on <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/yeat\/\">Yeat<\/a>&#8216;s Love\/Lyfe Tour. A new studio album, <em>Seventh Heaven<\/em>, is also expected this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UTA has been active in growing its live music roster. The agency recently signed <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/josh-weathers-signs-with-uta-for-worldwide-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Josh Weathers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/the-hellp-signs-with-uta-for-worldwide-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hellp<\/a> for worldwide representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slayr&#8217;s UTA signing is the clearest signal yet that his breakout is no longer just an online moment, it&#8217;s a full-blown industry co-sign. Going from self-releasing music on Discord at 13 to signing with one of the world&#8217;s biggest agencies at 19 is a remarkable arc, and it happened fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Yeat tour slot suggests he&#8217;s already being positioned as a live draw, not just a streaming act. With <em>Seventh Heaven<\/em> still to come, UTA is getting in early, and that&#8217;s a deliberate bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can Slayr&#8217;s rage\/digicore sound translate into consistent touring numbers the way it has into streaming numbers? Is this signing a sign that UTA is actively doubling down on Gen Z rap talent?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia rapper Slayr has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for worldwide live music and touring representation.
