United Talent Agency (UTA) will continue to represent the singer for touring outside North America, creating a territory-specific structure for his global live business.<\/p>\n<p>The decision comes as North America continues to play an important role in Wizkid\u2019s international touring career. The singer has performed at some of the continent\u2019s biggest venues, including Madison Square Garden in New York and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Wizkid\u2019s most recent major North American run came as part of his Morayo tour, which included dates at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Madison Square Garden, Toronto\u2019s Scotiabank Arena, CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Houston Toyota Center and the Hollywood Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>CAA\u2019s involvement gives Wizkid a dedicated team focused on the North American market, while his existing UTA relationship continues to cover the rest of his international touring activities.<\/p>\n<p>The Grammy-winning artist has remained one of the leading Nigerian acts in the global expansion of Afrobeats, regularly performing to audiences across Europe and North America. His sixth studio album, Morayo, further extended that international run, reaching No. 4 on Billboard\u2019s World Albums chart.<\/p>\n<p>For Wizkid, the CAA signing represents another significant step in structuring his international live business around the different markets in which he operates.<\/p>\n<p>While no new North American tour dates have been announced as part of the CAA deal, the agency will now play a central role in securing his future concerts, festivals and live opportunities across the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for live music and touring representation across North America.
