Kanye West has parted ways with the CAA agency and longtime representative Cara Lewis to sign with UTA for full representation across his varied business interests.
Ye’s digital business and music will be handled by a cross-departmental team of agents at UTA.
The New York-based Lewis has made a name for herself as the agent of note when it comes to hip-hop artists, having represented such hitmakers as Eminem, 50 Cent and Common, among others. She left William Morris Endeavor in 2012 after a 23-year tenure to join CAA.
She was No. 35 on Billboard’s 2014 Women in Music list.
