AK Booking Agency Profile
AK (Austin Kassabian) went from being a YouTube star with over a million subscribers to being one of America’s hottest new mainstream hip hop artists. After covering Desiigner’s “Panda” and “Gucci Gang” by Lil Pump (which collectively amounted to 46 million views), AK got a lot of attention as a serious artist. People quickly noticed that he was, not only a talented rapper, but a great singer. AK’s EP “On Me” predictably got a lot of positive attention, along with its single “Critics”. His first single “Ignorance is Bliss” was also a massive hit amongst his adoring fanbase and his song “Now I’m Forever” his the number 1 spot on the U.S. iTunes Hip Hop charts. Along with his YouTube channel, AK started uploading his music to SoundCloud with the encouragement of his best friend. AK has come a long way since then, considering he recently wrapped up his first nationwide tour. He was a senior in high school when he realized this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. AK cites Akon, T-Pain, J Cole, and Lil Wayne has his major influences..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking AK to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like AK in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking AK or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
AK'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 AK for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book AK, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing AK. 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 AK booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book AK for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final AK 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 AK charge for an event. An example fee to book AK is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. 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 AK agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The AK 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 AK for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the AK agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book AK, 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 AK 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 AK, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
