Country artist Emily Ann Roberts has signed with UTA for global representation in all areas.

The Knoxville native is currently managed by Starstruck Entertainment’s Narvel Blackstock and Berkley Kriz, and first gained notability with her runner-up finish on season nine of The Voice as a member of Blake Shelton’s team in 2015. In 2019, she released her debut EP Someday Dream, which landed at No. 2 on the Billboard Album charts.

Roberts has since amassed more than 20 million cumulative streams to date. Her latest single “He Set Her Off” earned over 16,000 pre-saves and more than 500,000 streams in two weeks. She has also graced the Grand Ole Opry stage 16 times and opened for artists including Reba McEntire, Shelton, Sara Evans, Josh Turner, Scotty McCreery, Ricky Skaggs and more.

“We were immediately drawn to Emily Ann’s soaring vocals, natural musicianship and authentic personality,” says UTA’s Curt Motley and Cass Scripps. “Emily Ann has a unique sound, that honors traditional influences, and blends in a fresh current sound that sets her music apart. We are thrilled to add Emily Ann Roberts to the UTA Family of Artists and can’t wait for all the new chapters of her career to unfold.”

“UTA’s reputation speaks for itself, and it is truly an honor to be added to its list of renowned clients,” says Roberts. “I look forward to working with the incredible team at UTA and I’m excited about all of the things we can accomplish together.”
