Why Use An Agent
The world of live entertainment is big…really big.
There are fantastic acts, no so fantastic and everything in-between, how do you know which one is right for you? Your event or venue deserves the best live entertainment, within your budget, and an agreement where every detail described so that all parties have a complete understanding of what is expected. This can be an arduous task that can be confusing and take an incredible amount of time. It is after all a business, one of the largest industries in the world in fact.
At Steven John Agency this is our primary purpose, it’s all that we do, and we’re really good at it.
The universe has opened up and anyone can find an act online, just like any ‘act’ can build a website or YouTube page to advertise their services – but how do you know what you’re REALLY getting? The simple answer is, you don’t.
Using an agent, specifically a very reputable one reduces time and frustration to get what you need and ensures you get what you expect with secure transactions and contracts.
Basically…let us do all of the leg work for you, it’s what we do everyday.
Agency services have no cost to entertainment buyers and clients. Our fees are paid by the entertainers we represent to ensure their interests are represented matching them with excited clients for exceptional shows. We are part of each of their individual business structure as a partner in their careers.
Steven John Entertainment, Inc is a proud member of The Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce and The American Federation of Musicians of The United States & Canada. Our AAA business standards set the bar high to ensure both clients and entertainers are treated with the respect, contracts and agreements are fully vetted and agreements hold value for all parties.
