Wasserman Music have unveiled their new name, The Team.
Last month, the company’s founder and CEO, Casey Wasserman, confirmed plans to sell the agency after his name appeared multiple times in the latest batch of the Epstein files, released by the Department of Justice on January 30th.
His decision to step down and sell the company came after a flurry of high-profile musical artists signed to his talent agency Wasserman Music announced their departures due to his connection with the Epstein files.
The list of musicians included Chappell Roan, Local Natives, Odesza, Weyes Blood, and Orville Peck.
Following the litany of artists to have left the agency, and multiple others threatening to walk unless Wasserman sells the company, he announced on February 13th that he’s stepping down and looking for buyers.
Now, the first part of their change-up has taken place with Wasserman’s name removed from the company. The statement published on their website amid the rebrand reads, “As of today, Wasserman is rebranding as THE·TEAM and you can now find us at the.team.”
Explaining the new name, they claimed, “For 24 years, this company has been shaped by our work, our people and our unifying belief in the power of Sports, Music and Entertainment.”
The Team concluded, “That philosophy remains the foundation of who we are – and where we are going. We go forward as we always have: Together.”
As it stands, the process of selling Wasserman Music remains in the early stages and there is no clear timeframe as to when it will enter new ownership.
Mike Watts, who formerly served as president, has been promoted to the company’s interim leader following Wasserman’s resignation.
