Partnering with Windish brought its 750-act roster — including Diplo, alt-J, Courtney Barnett and Lorde — into Paradigm’s fold, which now encompasses 2,200 clients booked by 115 agents. A 2012 pact with Morris’ EDM heavyweight AM Only continues to pay off, with Skrillex and DJ Snake reaching new heights.
Hidden Musical Talent (Morris): “I was half of the DJ duo Monkey Allan. We performed at private events for a lot of money.”
