Michelle Romeo
(NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Oct. 6, 2026) Reliant Talent Agency has announced that Michelle Romeo has joined the company as Corporate Agent. A former co-owner of Romeo Entertainment Group, Romeo brings more than two decades of experience in talent buying and live entertainment to her new role on the agency side of the business.
Throughout her career, she has worked with artists, managers, agents, fairs, festivals, and venues across the country to create live event opportunities. Her former clients and events include MontanaFair, the State Fair of Texas, the Nebraska State Fair, the Western Idaho Fair, the Colorado State Fair, and many more. She has also helped book performances by acts spanning country, rock, pop, hip-hop, comedy, and Christian music, including Kelly Clarkson, Cody Johnson, Nelly, HARDY, Old Dominion, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Steve Miller Band, and for KING & COUNTRY.
“Talent buying and artist representation are very different roles, but they share a common purpose: connecting artists with audiences in meaningful ways,” says Romeo. “Having spent years working alongside agents to create memorable live experiences, I’m excited to bring a buyer’s perspective to Reliant and help create new opportunities for the artists they represent.”
Romeo’s relationship with Reliant’s team began well before her move to the agency. “One of the things that makes this opportunity especially meaningful is that I’ve spent many years working alongside the incredible team at Reliant,” she adds. “I’ve respected Steve, Heath, Matt, and their team’s professionalism, integrity, and commitment to their artists. It’s exciting to go from working across the negotiating table to working alongside people I admire and now get to call teammates.”
Steve Lassiter, President of Reliant Talent Agency, says, “Having worked with Michelle Romeo for many years in her role as a talent buyer, we are incredibly excited to welcome her to the agent team at Reliant Talent. Michelle brings tremendous integrity, honesty and a work ethic that is second to none. With more than two decades of experience at Romeo Entertainment working closely with artists, agents and managers, her move to the agency side feels like a natural next step. I’ve personally known Michelle her entire life, having worked with both her father, Bob, and her grandfather, Don, over the years, which makes welcoming her to Reliant especially meaningful. We know Michelle had options as she considered this next chapter, and we’re honored that she chose Reliant Talent as her new home.”
