When I think of the world's biggest and most successful agents , it's hard to go past Emma Banks. As Co-Head of CAA UK, Emma is responsible for a roster that includes Muse, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lorde, Green Day and our very own Kylie Minogue. And for all the wonderful and well deserved awards that she has earned over the years (She's a 10 x winner of Poll Stars UK Agent Of The Year for starters), it's important to note that Emma has not only paid her dues but she is responsible for breaking some of the most important and legendary acts of all time. Her story about discovering Jeff Buckley before anyone really knew he existed is only but one of many she has in her arsenal of tales and anecdotes from her long and illustrious career. When she's not sleeping, Emma also finds time to sit on the board of Luton Town FC in the English Championship League as well as breeding race horses, a passion she has had since she was a kid. To say that she doesn't do things by half would be a proper understatement.

In this interview, Emma gets candid about her history and also her thoughts on where the global live music industry is heading.
