Josh Humiston, a music agent and partner at Agency for the Performing Arts, died Wednesday after a stroke, the agency said. He was 48.
APA said Humiston was the first agent in its 59-year history to rise from the mailroom to partner. His clients have included Dionne Warwick, Smokey Robinson, Judas Priest, X, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Flogging Molly and Everclear.
“All of us are devastated for the loss of our dear friend, colleague and partner, Josh Humiston,” APA CEO Jim Gosnell said. “Josh was a unique and exceptional agent who was fiercely passionate and loyal to his clients and this company for 26 years. A much-loved member of our APA family, he wore his heart on his sleeve and would fight equally as hard for his clients as he did his colleagues. He will be extremely missed by all of us, as well as the music community in which he served.
