UTA has signed 19-year-old lifestyle vlogger Kennedy Walsh for representation in all areas.
Walsh, who launched her YouTube channel 10 short months ago and has subsequently amassed 940,000 subscribers — as well as an additional 512,000 followers on Instagram and 125,000 followers on Twitter — is best known for her personal vlogs, celebrity photo re-creations, and viral challenges. She will work with UTA to transition into acting, as well as to pursue licensing, branding, and endorsement opportunities.
Walsh, who currently vends her own merch, is the daughter of social star Jen ‘The Body Painter’ Seidel, whose Instagram account has nabbed 350,000 followers.
