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.
