Reliant Talent has announced the launch of a jazz division headed by NYC-based agency veteran Fred Hansen.
Fred Hansen has over three and half decades of experience representing top Jazz, R&B, and Adult Contemporary Artists and has been integral in working with artists to develop long-term growth through strategic bookings at Festivals, PACS, theaters, and clubs worldwide.
