IMAJ Artists is an innovative artist agency representing photographers, directors, wardrobe stylists, hair stylists, makeup artists and music producers.
Based in New York and Miami, IMAJ founders Michelle Leo and Tonya Pittman set out with one goal in mind: “Develop true connections between artists and clients through intuitive professional insights.”
Coming from opposite ends of the Fashion Industry, these two powerful individuals joined forces to build an agency a step beyond booking talent. They leverage their creative innovative approach to build strong relationships and collaborations.
Michelle Co-founded IMAJ with 17 years of agent experience, having helped launch FORD Artists in NYC in 2005 and later relocating to Florida to become the Director of FORD Artists Miami. Throughout the years Michelle has always been the go-to agent for clients booking artists for celebrities, campaigns, editorial and catalog shoots. Tonya started her industry career as a “Best of Boston” award winning hairstylist, later in NY becoming an International Educator for L’Oréal Professionnel. She met Michelle at FORD where she was discovered as a model 19 years ago and became a recognizable face in campaigns and commercials worldwide. Tonya is currently represented by the same agents who started her modeling career, the owners of JAG Models.
By having a 360-degree understanding of the industry, Michelle and Tonya bring a dynamic approach to artist relations and client needs, making a perfect union for curating great teams on set and maintaining longstanding relationships.
