We Jazz Agency
We Jazz Agency represents artists we believe in both in Finland and internationally. The artists we represent are connected to our two label brands, We Jazz and Other Power, either by also releasing their music with us or by artistic kinship. Please see the links below for information about each of artist and their agent.
We also produce tours, events and concepts case by case, and promote shows in Finland and beyond.
