Founder and CEO of One Fiinix Live
UK booking agent Jon Ollier, whose clients include Ed Sheeran, Anne-Marie, Lauv, 2Cellos and JC Stewart and more, has unveiled plans for a new, independent live booking agency, called One Fiinix Live.
The launch of One Fiinix Live follows the end of Ollier’s near six-year tenure at CAA, announced in October, and will be headquartered in London, England.
Ollier retains his personal roster. As CEO of this new venture, he has set out a vision that includes “providing a first-class service to his existing clients while investing time and resources in to developing new innovations and strategies to maximise opportunities in a post-COVID world,” the announcement reads.
Emma Davis, who was Ollier’s long-time right-hand at CAA, will join him at One Fiinix Live.
Ollier started his career at English booking agency Helter Skelter before moving to Free Trade Agency in 2008, where he began developing his own roster and working with artists such as Ed Sheeran, JP Cooper and Jamie Lawson.
In 2015, he moved to CAA as a senior agent and expanded his roster to include Anne-Marie, Lauv, Calum Scott, 2Cellos and classical star Hauser among others.
Among his achievements, the booking of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Divide’ tour, the highest grossing and best attended tour of all time, stand out. It earned him inclusion in Billboard’s “Power Players Impact List 2020”, a Music Week award for ‘Live Music Agent’ in 2016, alongside nominations for Pollstar’s annual ‘International Agent’ award.

Said Ollier, “After almost six years at CAA where I learned a huge amount from some inspirational colleagues I felt it was time to launch my own venture and realize the vision I had for a forward thinking, innovative agency that could empower artists and help them reach new audiences.
“It may seem counter intuitive, but I think this is a uniquely good time to launch a new business as we enter the next phase for live music. There will be huge opportunities as we create new ways of thinking and I believe One Fiinix Live is poised to play a leading role in that positive disruption.
“We are keen to turn the current challenges we are all facing into possibilities and I encourage anyone who feels they have the same kind of mindset to reach out; now is the time to embrace the change.”
