A Hundred Drums leaves Wasserman after CEO is named in the Epstein files

The Epstein files are making waves in the music industry, as seen with A Hundred Drums.

Bass music artist A Hundred Drums has parted ways with Wasserman, a prominent global talent agency for sports, music, entertainment, and creators, following renewed scrutiny surrounding the agency’s CEO, Casey Wasserman, whose name appears in the recently unsealed Epstein files.

The controversy stems from documents that reference Wasserman multiple times, including an email exchange with Ghislaine Maxwell in which he asks about booking a massage during a trip to New York in 2003. The resurfaced material has sparked widespread conversation online, particularly within the electronic and bass music communities, where Wasserman Music represents a significant number of artists.

In a statement shared to Instagram, A Hundred Drums announced that they are “no longer assigned to Wasserman,” expressing gratitude for their time at the agency while making clear that they are moving in a new direction. “I’m incredibly grateful for my time there and for the experiences along the way,” the artist wrote, adding that they and their managers are taking time to find representation that better aligns with the “more boutique nature” of the project.

The statement did not directly reference the Epstein documents, but the timing closely follows online discussions highlighting Wasserman’s name in the files. Social media accounts have circulated screenshots of the documents, alongside lists of artists represented by the agency, prompting debate about accountability and the broader implications for the live music industry.

Importantly, there is no indication that artists on Wasserman’s roster were aware of or involved in any of the matters referenced in the documents. Many within the community have emphasized that the focus remains on leadership and institutional power rather than individual performers.

A Hundred Drums’ departure marks one of the first visible shifts among bass music artists in response to the recent Epstein developments. As conversations continue across the industry, the situation underscores the increasing pressure on artists and agencies alike to address reputational risk and ethical alignment in an era of heightened transparency.
