We at Listed Productions/Bookings are happy to WELCOME Ben Annand as our latest booking agent. It couldn’t be a better fit as Ben represents our values and has been part of the west coast dance music community for years. He has been champion of the music playing, promoting and producing events through Tropical Since '98 and now working on his venture Bridge to Paradise. Best said in his words 👇🏾
I really love my new job as a booking agent for Corey bookings! To start, I am representing Jay Tripwire (Vancouver, BC), MightyKat (Montreal) N I K I T A (neverstops the music) (San Francisco), and Ben Annand (Los Angeles / Eugene) :)
Even though this is just being publicly announced now, I have been working since January - so I already have 3 months in and am feeling in the flow. It’s a natural fit for me as I am well-versed in the 2 most important skills of a booking agent - negotiation and communication. And really, I have 30 years of experience working many roles in music industry booking including talent booker for events, self-represented artist, unofficial booking agent for others, and of course, owner of a venue booking service.
As I see it, my job as a DJ booking agent is:
- Do the best I can for my artists while also being fair to organizers by carefully considering offers factoring in venue size, city size, and timing
- Find nearby city pairings for my artists so the travel is efficient (generally you pocket 3x when you have two out-of town gigs in one weekend vs one).
- Keep more money in the hands of my artists by being on top of flights - especially right now with fuel and flight prices.being extra high and getting worse.
Listed bookings has been my home as a represented artist since 2014. Things were going great until the pandemic caused my first booking agent there to find other work. Then after the pandemic I helped hire their replacement, only to have my new agent resign as it wasn’t building fast enough for them.
So one day last Fall, I called listed bookings owner, Gunita and said, “what do you think of me coming on board to help listed by booking a few artists in my lane musically?” Gunita loved the idea, and here we are!
