Royel Otis Expands WME Representation Deal Across the Americas and Beyond

Australian indie-rock duo Royel Otis has expanded its representation deal with talent agency WME to cover North America, South America, and all territories outside of Europe. The Sydney-based act, composed of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, initially partnered with the agency for the Asia-Pacific region, where WME head of Asia-Pacific Brett Murrihy will retain representation alongside Australia and the Middle East.

Under the newly expanded agreement, WME global head of music Kirk Sommer will lead the team overseeing the duo across the added territories. The corporate move supports the group's ongoing international push following widespread radio and streaming traction.

After releasing early tracks such as "Oysters in My Pocket" and "Sofa King," the band achieved major commercial momentum with their debut record Pratts & Pain and a hit SiriusXM cover of The Cranberries' "Linger." Their follow-up album Hickey launched into the Billboard 200 and contained "Moody," which secured the top spot on Billboard's Adult Alternative Airplay chart. The group's live footprint has expanded rapidly with festival appearances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball, alongside stadium dates supporting Foo Fighters.

What to watch next: International listeners can expect further headline tour dates across the Americas to be announced as the band's new agency arrangement takes effect.
