WME Adds Caroline Yim And Zach Iser As Partners, Co-Heads Of Hip-Hop/R&B Music Division

Caroline Yim and Zach Iser have joined WME, where the pair will be partners and co-heads of the agency Music division’s Hip-Hop/R&B team. They come over from CAA, where their clients included Anderson .Paak, Jhené Aiko, Kehlani, Megan Thee Stallion, Daniel Caesar and Swae Lee.

The move comes after WME earlier this month hired music agent Aaron Tannenbaum from CAA to join as a partner based in its Nashville office. Yim and Iser will run the Hip-Hop/R&B team alongside fellow co-heads James Rubin and Kevin Shivers.
