WME has signed Jackson Wang for representation, adding the singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur to its roster. Wang, a former member of South Korean boy band GOT7, has pursued a solo career since releasing his debut album MIRRORS in 2019.
Why it matters
The signing places Wang under a major agency as he expands his presence in the U.S. music market. His record of chart and touring milestones gives the agency a established commercial profile to build on.
Wang's April 10 show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center grossed $1,481,898 from 10,344 tickets sold. His single "LMLY" has amassed more than 103 million streams on Spotify, though the figures do not reveal the contract terms of the new representation.

The move reflects the continued push of Asian artists into the U.S. music business, a trend underscored by his Coachella main stage appearance as the first Chinese solo artist to headline that slot.
Fans may see Wang's work reach wider U.S. audiences through the agency's connections across film, television, and live events. The extraction does not specify new tour dates, ticketing changes, or release schedules tied to this signing.
The takeaway
Artists moving between Asian and Western markets often depend on representation that can manage live, recorded, and brand work together. Wang's mix of chart success, sold-out performances, and fashion partnerships shows why agencies pursue multi-discipline talent.
