About
KOQ (pronounced Kay-Oh-Cute!) was founded with the drive to bring together underrepresented artists alongside major headliners on the world’s biggest stages. This creates an eclectic array of opportunities for both artists and talent buyers.
We specialize in booking talent while crafting dynamic lineups for festivals, concerts, live events, and digital experiences worldwide. Our agency values personal relationships with collaborators, ensuring meaningful connections between talent and the right opportunities.
We are honored to represent a diverse roster of artists, from the established to the legendary, from game changers to rising stars. Whether you’re an event planner, talent buyer, festival director, or an artist seeking representation, KOQ connects talent with the right opportunities.
For Artists
We go beyond bookings. We’re here to help you build a sustainable, long-term career. From your first big performance to your future breakthroughs, we focus on helping you grow beyond the initial hype and establish lasting success in the industry.
For Event Producers (Show Directors)
We specialize in curating memorable experiences that captivate and engage audiences. With our extensive and diverse roster of artists, we help you tailor each lineup to suit your specific budget and event needs.
Already have an artist in mind who’s not on our roster? No problem! Just let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
"Our goal is to unite supporters with their favorite artists no matter where they are."
