Jay Versace, a 19-year-old multi-hyphenate artist who first rose to fame on Vine and now headlines a flourishing YouTube channel, has signed with top talent agency UTA for representation in all areas.
The New Jersey native, who counts 5 million followers across all of his social platforms, previously starred in a Fullscreen series titled Jay Versace Is Stuck In The 90s, in which he gets stuck in the past and must return to the present using only 90s-era technology. He also appeared in season two of AwesomenessTV’s The Commute. Versace is currently developing a series alongside digital studio Portal A tentatively titled My Wizard & Me, in which he and a “magical ancestor” will sample Los Angeles’ most elusive hotspots.
Versace, who won a BET Soul Train Award in the ‘Internet Sensation’ category in 2016, will continue to be represented by Stephanie Piza at Flip Management and Jessica Marlow at Weintraub Tobin.
