Recently-launched independent live music agency One Fiinix Live has announced its first new agent hire.
London-based One Fiinix Live was launched at the end of last year by Jon Ollier, the award-winning UK booking agent whose clients include Ed Sheeran, Anne-Marie, Lauv, 2Cellos and JC Stewart among others.
Jess Kinn, whose appointment is effective immediately, joins the company from live music streaming specialists LIVENow and was previously an agent at Paradigm Agency, where her client base included Mallrat, Years & Years and Rebecca Garton.
Kinn will report directly to Jon Ollier.
At this stage it is unclear which of her previous clients will be joining her.
London-born Jess started her career in live music with The Leighton Pope Organisation before joining Paradigm Agency where she worked her way up from reception to agent.
As a booker she worked across acts including Shawn Mendes, Halsey, Alan Walker and Faithless before becoming an agent in her own right.
In 2020 she headed up events for LIVENow working on live streams for The Pete Tong Heritage Orchestra, Gorillaz and the record breaking Dua Lipa Studio 2054 stream.
