KG x JL David Agency
As I write from the green room in the City Centre Beirut mall, after 12 glorious days of work, travel and indulgence, now on the 13th day (coincidence) I am yet again ecstatic and reveling in positivity and excitement as I am able to announce that I have signed with my first legit agency in the Southeast- JL David Agency.
Jennifer David and her team reached out to me approximately two and a half weeks ago on a whim through a website I hadn’t even been using often because my manager uses the breakdown services on my behalf. A stroke of luck or possibly a sign of hope- something I’ve been preparing for, for a long time, came my way.
Desiree- Jenn’s lovely team member asked if I had representation and if I was interested and I happily replied. Fast forward the next day, Jenn cleared her schedule to have a Skype interview with me which was incredibly refreshing. An agent who is excited, passionate, hardworking, and communicative- one who clears her schedule and puts appointments on hold to see you in person. One who’s building and has goals and is excited and confident in her clients and their success! … Everything an actor wants.
I also want to make it apparent how for the past year and a half especially, and over the past three years in general, I’ve reached out to agencies in the Southeast prior and have gotten some interest, but no offers- I don’t think i was ready at the time and it’s difficult, specifically right now, to find an agent in general. In addition, diversity is important and there are plenty of pretty white boys that agents are holding on to, who are already on their rosters.. what can I do besides to keep on pushing and getting better? Diversity is important and beautiful and I love all of my diverse acting, modeling and artistic friends who are finally getting a voice and more opportunity! I salute all of you for everything you’ve done to this point and what you will accomplish in the future!
This new relationship with Jenn and her team is going to be one hell of a ride that I know is going to be successful. When you have someone is inspired and just as excited and hardworking as you are, great things happen. We’re already laying the foundation for a strong relationship and business partnership, and are excited for you to follow our journey together.
Thank you Jenn, thank you Desiree, and thank you to everyone for your support in the past, present, and the future. And thank you to all of you that have helped me in my journey as an actor, model and artist here in NYC- you’ve all played a large role in getting me to this point.
With love,
