How it started

History

In 1979, Charles Hamlen and Edna Landau co-founded Hamlen/Landau, a New York-based musical artist management agency and company. The company was later renamed as IMG Artists.

In 1991, the European headquarters of IMG Artists were opened in London, England, followed by the opening of offices in Paris, France and Hanover, Germany. Additionally, the company has acquired additional representative presences throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

In September 2004, entrepreneur Barrett Wissman purchased a majority stake of IMG Artists. In 2023, Alexander Shustorovich became sole owner of the company.
