Selena Gomez has found a new team to represent her. Back in March, the 21-year-old released her mother and stepfather as managers, and has now sign with a new representation team to rid herself of her Disney image.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress and singer, who previously was with CAA, has signed with WME as well as Brillstein for management.
The strategic move by Gomez has been long in the works, as this piece is crucial to move on into more adult-oriented fare in film and music.
Gomez, who got her start the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, has already started to shed that teen idol image by starring girls-gone-wild crime drama Spring Breakers, and as a mysterious street urchin in the action thriller Getaway, opposite Ethan Hawke. The actress recently completed shooting comedy Behaving Badly and appeared in the musical dramedy Rudderless.
Last summer, Gomez’s first solo album, Stars Dance, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with her lead single “Come & Get It” reaching triple-platinum. Previously, the singer released three albums as part of her band, Selena Gomez & The Scene, all on Disney’s Hollywood Records.
