Steve Irlen

Frontier Booking International found its beginnings as an agency in the music industry over 40 years ago. Until his passing, founder Ian Copeland managed a vast roster of musical talent including such names as Sting, Snoop Dogg, Modern English, Jane's Addiction and R.E.M. No longer involved with music, FBI is currently known for establishing the careers of some of today's top stars... beginning with its first client, Courtney Cox. 

John Shea, current owner of FBI, has been with the agency for 30 years and works to continually maintain and strengthen its reputation as a top agency for young performers. 

The ever-growing talent division of FBI specializes in performers of all ethnicities, ranging from children and teens to adults. Their clients have been recognized in various mediums of entertainment (especially film, television and theatre). 

Nobody does this alone, we believe its about having a team working with you to help you realize your dreams. Elizabeth Peterson and Stephan Gregory work tirelessly alongside John to help promote and advance the on camera resumes of the performers on the FBI roster. Steve Irlen [formerly of Inspired Artist Management] is working with John to bolster the theatrical careers of our clients.
