Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has announced that Lucy Dickins will be joining the agency in mid-April.
It follows the news of her departure from WME after seven years.
In addition to serving on CAA’s managing director committee, the agency said Dickins will continue working directly with top music artists.
For four years, she has been the global head of contemporary music and touring at WME, helping oversee all aspects of the agency’s contemporary music and touring business across its Beverly Hills, New York, Nashville, London and Sydney offices.
“Lucy is a tremendous business leader and exceptional agent, with a deep understanding of talent and what it takes to help them realise their most ambitious goals,” said CAA co-chairman and CEO Bryan Lourd. “She’s a dynamic, thoughtful and hands-on leader with invaluable global management experience, creativity, and strategic insight. We look forward to working with her across all divisions of our company.”

Based in Los Angeles, Dickins represents a roster of globally influential artists and is known for the longevity of her relationships with the talent she represents. She has worked closely with acts including Adele and Mumford & Sons from early in their careers.
“I’m really excited to be joining CAA,” said Lucy Dickins. “I’ve long admired the vision and leadership of the company and the incredible team behind it. What matters most to me is the opportunity to continue building deep creative partnerships with artists and helping them realise their ambitions on a global stage.”
Dickins began her career working for an independent UK record label before joining her father Barry Dickins’ International Talent Booking (ITB) agency in 1999. She joined WME in 2019, and moved to the United States in 2022 when she was named global head of contemporary music and touring.
In 2023, Dickins received the prestigious UK Music Industry Trusts Award (MITS) in recognition of her career-long contribution to live music and artist representation.
