LEESA ROBINSON AGENCY
Keyline: How can someone become a part of your
agency? Such as the steps and how long the process
takes?
Leesa: We have a two step process in selec ng talent;
Beauty is not based on outside looks. We have interview
ques ons that bring out their true personality, even
though the talent may be nervous. In the second mee ng,
about a week later, talent is usually more comfortable and
opens up to let their talent shine or if not we may decide
not to sign them. Then again if I am the interviewer, I may
decide to sign them right away depending on their specific
talents.
Keyline: Do you have any clients that are in the majors and
if so who are they?
Leesa: We have Lou Mar ni Jr. in New York. He has been on
several series shows, such as The Sopranos, Law & Order,
and he was just recently signed to Orange is The New Black.
We have several other famous actors who we have a
confiden ality agreement with to not share their names.
As far as musical talent, LRA represents hundreds of local
bands all over the U.S. and name bands such as, Tony
Wilson (Young James Brown) and 69 Boyz. We also have
Comedian De Solo, who is great comedian talent!
Keyline: I know you recently opened a new office, do you
have plans on opening more offices in other states in the
future?
Leesa: Yes we just recently opened in Atlanta, GA and
Mobile, Alabama. We will also be opening in Memphis and
Nashville, Tennessee before the end of the year. Also in
2016, we are slated to open in Las Vegas, NV and Studio
City, CA.
Keyline: Can someone that lives in a different state s ll be
your agency?
Leesa: LRA is corporate based out of Mississippi, but we
represent talent in every state. We hold an office in Canada
and manage talent in India, Russia, and Japan.
