In the past year, co-presidents Julien Paquin and Vinny Cinquemani have significantly expanded Paquin Artists Agency (PAA), establishing it as Canada's largest booking agency. Their strategic acquisition of APA Canada in June 2023 brought veteran agents Ralph James and Jack Ross into the fold, along with a roster featuring Nickelback, Billy Talent and Lights, and this year brought in veteran agent Paul Biro from Sakamoto Agency. Other big recent signings to PAA have included Sarah McLachlan, Tenille Townes, The Washboard Union and more. Together, Paquin and Cinquemani have enhanced PAA's bilingual services and expanded its reach into Quebec and Nashville. Their efforts have solidified PAA's position as a leading agency in North America's live entertainment industry.
