Agenting Is Not Rockic Science

Speaking of agents, make sure to RSVP to our Master Class with Brian Patacca right here! Jaime Love's career started in 1999 in Toronto, Canada where she worked in print, fashion, and commercials. She could even be seen behind in the scenes on the production side of things with the Kardashians and Demi Lovato, before ultimately opening up her own talent agency. Today, she represents dozens of artists including...yours truly! Back in ep 7 of this season, I was able to sit down with Brittany, my theatrical agent. Now, in ep 11, I am super excited to be able to bring Jaime to you to talk all things commercial.
