Nue Agency is a creative music agency located in New York City.[1] In 2013 they were named to Inc Mag’s 500 list as the 3rd fastest growing Media Company.[2]

History

Nue Agency was founded in 2008 by Jesse Kirshbaum[3][4] who still serves as the company’s CEO. Soon after, Alex Kirshbaum (Jesse’s brother) would agree to join the company and move back to New York from Florida where he was working in finance.

With its roots as a booking agency, Nue was the first agency on record for artists such as Clipse,[5] Wale,[6][7] Mike Posner,[8] Chiddy Bang, White Panda,[9] Big Sean,[10] J. Cole,[11] Logic,[12] Capital Cities,[13] Action Bronson,[14] Odd Future,[15] Solange Knowles, Pusha T,[16] Hoodie Allen,[17] and Sound Remedy.

In 2017, NUE created a partnership with General Electric (GE) and electronic DJ/producer, Gryffin, to compose an original song inspired by the numerous energies and machines that connect our world – specifically the grid.[18] The track, entitled “Illuminate”, premiered in front of a live audience at a Daybreakers dance party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to kick off Summer 2017.[19]

So far, over 100[22] artists such as X-Ambassadors, Zella Day,[23] Conrad Sewell,[24] Deer Tick (band),[25] Kevin Garrett, Us The Duo, Bosco, Soulection, Priory, Hiatus Kaiyote, Halsey, Echosmith, KYLE, and BØRNS have stayed at the house.

In September 2015, Sour Patch Kids and Nue Agency won a Clio[26] Music award for their work in brand activation with The Patch.
