Odd Projects adds to talent lineup by signing Nakey Jakey, Aaron Murphy, Nathan Stanz

Odd Projects has made three additions to its client roster. The talent management company has signed Jacob Christensen (aka Nakey Jakey), TikToker Aaron Murphy, and internet commentator Nathan Stanz.

The new signings will slot into existing Odd Projects divisions like Gaming, Commentary, Music, and Impact. Christensen’s channel spans several of those verticals on its own. The man known as Nakey Jakey got a boost when an episode of his web series Games That Should Bang went viral. Seven years later, his video essays discuss everything from video games to book fairs, and he also has his own music career. Last year, he dropped a debut album called ROMCOM on Spotify.

Stanz’s career has also traversed through multiple internet communities. He’s a former esports exec who established himself as on platforms like YouTube by commenting on creator drama and other topics. He’s also known for his frequent collaborations with Ludwig Ahgren; he is one of the Co-Founders who teamed up with Ahgren to launch Offbrand

, a rapidly-expanding production company. According to a press release from Odd Projects, Stanz is also planning to relaunch his podcast, The Stanz Show.

Murphy will bring another big name to Odd Projects’ Impact division. His charitable efforts are centered around Murphslife, a foundation that provides assistance to families in need in Central and South America. Other Odd Projects clients who use their social followings for good include Hunter Prosper and Jesús Morales.

Other creators who have signed with Odd Projects over the past year include YouTube commentary creator Eddy Burback and animation channels Nutshell Animations and King Science. The talent management firm, which was founded by Nate Ruff, will create new teams to work with its latest signees. Talent Manager Arjun Das will lead Murphy’s team, while Grant Sharrets will lead the teams for Christensen and Stanz.
