Paris Hilton will be represented by transatlantic talent management company YMU under the recently formed FM Group banner, a division of YMU Music led by Alex Frankel, FM president and Chris Maher, FM COO.
FM will work with Hilton across all of her global music business.
Hilton, the co-founder of next-gen entertainment company 11:11, has a social audience of more than 64 million. Hilton’s recently released memoir “Paris: The Memoir” is currently No. 5 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller chart.

Frankel said: “It is my enormous privilege to represent Paris Hilton and I’m so excited to share the incredible music we’re working on together. I’m grateful, as well, to Matt Colon and Mary Bekhait, for affording me the opportunity to lead my own FM team, a new division within the tremendous global YMU infrastructure.”
YMU Group holds global offices and works across the entertainment, music, sport, art, social, literary and business management sectors.
