OUR ORIGIN
1999-2006
The original concept for The Artist Evolution began as a passion project for founder Derek Champagne in Hollywood California in 2005. As a serial entrepreneur and seasoned performer in the L.A. music scene, Derek saw first-hand the major changes in the music industry that created a world-wide impact as a result of the new digital age. As the industry changed, Derek wanted to help artists to pivot so that they would thrive with new solutions for revenue with support from growing companies and sponsors.
2007-2018
In 2007, The Artist Evolution (TAE) took root with HQ in Northwest AR, Derek’s hometown, and quickly evolved into a quality agency with a focus on helping emerging and growing companies to develop their brands and marketing campaigns. With previous experience in the media and agency environment, Derek had a clear vision for a different kind of agency – an “anti-agency” to better serve clients with optimal results.
TODAY
