Agent Raphael Stier will lead the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He continues with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for worldwide bookings outside those territories, and remains with Syndicate Management for overall music management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born Christian Rivera-Joaquin, Wakyin built his sound on merengue, bachata, and salsa rhythms absorbed growing up in Orlando&#8217;s Latin community, later folding in house, Afro house, and pop influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His breakout single &#8220;Beso (Fruta Fresca)&#8221; has surpassed 65 million streams on Spotify, and he made his label debut on Insomniac Records in 2024 with &#8220;Closer&#8221; featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/bantu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bantu<\/a>. His most recent release, &#8220;Ice 2 Water&#8221; with Ronis Goliath and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/bees-honey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bees &amp; honey<\/a>, arrived via Bamboo in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the road, Wakyin has played EDC Orlando, Hocus Pocus Miami, Cova Santa Ibiza, and Thuishaven Amsterdam, and went back-to-back with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/dj-carnage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gordo<\/a> during a set in Ecuador. He closed out January with a headline stop at Knockdown Center in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Metropole deal adds Wakyin to a roster that recently welcomed <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/mandragora-signs-with-metropole-for-worldwide-representation-excluding-france-and-belgium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mandragora<\/a>, signed for worldwide touring excluding France and Belgium, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/magdalena-signs-with-metropole-for-worldwide-booking-and-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Magdalena<\/a>, who consolidated her global booking and management under the agency in May. Together, the signings point to Metropole building a serious footprint in globally touring, Latin-influenced electronic music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a classic &#8220;expand, don&#8217;t replace&#8221; move. Wakyin isn&#8217;t leaving CAA or Syndicate Management, he&#8217;s layering in a specialist agency for the two regions where his brand of Latin-infused house has room to grow fastest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Splitting representation by territory instead of handing everything to one global agency is becoming a common playbook for rising dance acts who need boots-on-the-ground expertise in specific markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also fits a pattern for Metropole: after Mandragora and Magdalena, Wakyin is the third electronic act the agency has added in recent months, each bringing a distinct sound and an already-active global touring calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Europe\/UK and the Middle East now handled by a dedicated agency, how quickly could Wakyin&#8217;s touring calendar there catch up to his U.S. and Latin American dates? As Wakyin&#8217;s sound keeps blending genres, will his European bookings lean toward house festivals, Latin music events, or both?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wakyin, the Orlando-born DJ and producer known for fusing his Dominican and Puerto Rican roots with house and Afro house textures, has signed with Metropole Talent for live music and touring representation across Europe\/UK and the Middle East.
