Exclusive: Circle of Confusion has hired Literary Manager Jon Kee to join the firm.
Kee is the first person from the Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program’s Historically Black Colleges & Universities Los Angeles Program to be hired by a major management company.
During Kee’s time with the program, he went from being an intern to a literary manager.
Kee grew up in the Nickel City. He cut his teeth interning at UTA, ultimately working in the Vo department. He also worked for the SAG Awards, and worked at Good Fear Content, where he assisted Scott Stoops in the literary department and Chris Bender on the production side while also building his own unique roster in both the literary and talent departments.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jon to the Circle of Confusion family, and to help further nurture and accelerate bringing diverse talent into our industry, said the Circle partners.
