/by

Forward Artists is marking one year in Nashville with 10 hair and makeup artists and stylists on their roster. With offices in Los Angeles, New York and London, the boutique agency opened its doors in Nashville last year, led by Nashville’s Director of Forward Artists, Morgan Feldman.

Feldman’s first signing was celebrity hair and makeup artist Tarryn Feldman, before curating the entire talent roster by July 2024, just six months after opening their doors in the city. Nashville’s Forward Artists specializes in country glam and male grooming, partnering with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Kelsea Ballerini, Tucker Wetmore, Megan Moroney, Carly Pearce, Little Big Town, Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson and more.

“We’re incredibly proud of the strong launch of Forward Artists’ Nashville office!” says Alex Polillo, Forward Artists Managing Partner. “Expanding into this deep-rooted creative hub has been a long-held goal, and it took finding the right leader in Morgan to bring it to life. Collaborating with the talented artists, musicians and creative professionals here is an exciting step in our mission to support the industry’s top beauty and style talent. We look forward to building new relationships and contributing to Nashville’s dynamic creative community.”

The Nashville roster includes hair and makeup artists Amber Cannon, Chris Bear, Jessica Candage, Jessica Miller, Mari Brown, Marz Collins and Tarryn Feldman, as well as stylists Lindsey Dupuis and Olivia Rose, and male groomer and stylist Kelly Henderson.

“Over the past 16 years in Nashville, the relationships I’ve built have been integral to my personal and professional growth,” shares Morgan Feldman. “These relationships have guided me through each season of my career, shaping the path I’m on today. A key relationship that has greatly influenced my journey is with Tarryn Feldman, whose trust and support have been invaluable. Tarryn not only entrusted me with her career but also introduced me to Forward Artists, a relationship that has opened countless doors and led me into an exciting new chapter. The relationships among the artists on our Nashville roster are rooted in mutual respect and genuine support, creating an environment where we all cheer each other on as a true team. At Forward Artists, we place great emphasis on nurturing meaningful relationships—whether it’s the bond between clients and artists or between clients and our internal team. This focus on cultivating authentic relationships is something our clients immediately feel and recognize, making it a cornerstone of our work.”
