GZA Booking Agency Profile

GZA, also known as The Genius, is an American rapper and songwriter who is best known for being a founding member of the hip-hop group, the Wu-Tang Clan. GZA found his love for hip-hop at a young age after attending block parties and from there, he began working as a DJ and also found himself involved in breakdancing and graffiti. He then began writing and learning rhymes which led to him writing raps. He later formed a group with his cousins, the two of which later became known as RZA and Ol’ Dirty Bastard. GZA would perform in rap battles with his cousins and he later was signed as a solo artist under the name The Genius. As a solo artist, GZA released his debut album, “Words from the Genius,” which didn’t get attention as his label didn’t promote it, which led to GZA asking to be released from the label he was signed to. Shortly after, GZA joined the Wu-Tang Clan, which was formed by his cousin RZA. As a solo artist, GZA went on to release five more solo albums which his most popular being “Liquid Swords,” which peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard charts and earned RIAA certified platinum and BPI certified silver, and “Beneath the Surface,” which peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard charts and earned RIAA certified gold. Some of GZA’s most popular solo singles include “Liquid Swords,” “Cold World,” “Shadowboxin,” and “Breaker, Breaker.”.

Frequently Asked Questions about booking GZA to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like GZA in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking GZA or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
GZA's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking GZA for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book GZA, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing GZA. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate GZA booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book GZA for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final GZA booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will GZA charge for an event. An example fee to book GZA is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the GZA agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The GZA manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book GZA for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the GZA agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book GZA, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the GZA booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for GZA, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
