Kylie Minogue Signs With UTA for North America
Fresh off of winning her second career Grammy, Kylie Minogue has signed with UTA for live representation and acting endeavors in North America.
The Australian singer won the best pop dance recording Grammy — a new award — earlier this month for her viral hit “Padam Padam.” The song is from her 16th studio album Tension, which was released last year and reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
Minogue, 55, won her first Grammy — best dance recording — in 2004 for her groovy hit “Come Into My World.” Her hits also include “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” “The Loco-motion” and “Love at First Sight,” among others.
She has sold more than 80 million records worldwide, earned five billion streams and launched nine U.K. No. 1 albums. She’s won three BRIT Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards, and is the only female artist to score a No. 1 album and Top 10 singles in five consecutive decades in the U.K.
Minogue has also appeared in a number of films and TV shows, including Street Fighter, Moulin Rouge!, Neighbours, Holy Motors, San Andreas and Jack & Diane. In 2014 she worked as a coach on The Voice UK and The Voice Australia.
She has been awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) and the Officer of the Order of Australia (AO), and she was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame induction.
She is currently performing at Voltaire at the Venetian Las Vegas with her More Than Just a Residency show, which will extend through May.
Minogue is managed by Polly Bhowmik of A&P Artist Management.
