UTA has onboarded digital multi-hyphenate Quen Blackwell, who the talent agency will represent globally in all areas of her flourishing career.
UTA says it will support Blackwell — who counts 10 million followers across all social channels — in the expansion of her digital content, branding, as well as new opportunities in film, television, music, and voiceover work.
Blackwell, 20, initially rose to fame on Vine, but her biggest following currently exists on TikTok, where she counts 5.7 million followers and shares a vast array of content, including fashion and beauty tutorials, acoustic guitar performances, parodies, and hoverboard videos. She also maintains an active presence on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
Blackwell has also collaborated with mainstream celebrities and top influencers, including starring in the ad campaign for Halsey’s new About-Face makeup like, appearing in the music videos for artists including Diplo (who also happens to be her landlord) and SG Lewis, and collaborating with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Billie Eilish, and Addison Rae on their own highly-followed handles.
Blackwell will continue to be represented by Ned Sherman at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.
