I want to write a letter to Mr. Joel’s agent. My Google-fu is coming up lacking any results.

Thank you. I googled “Who represents Billy Joel” from my smartphobe

Oh wait that is from [ask.com](http://ask.com) I know their answers are not vetted and not always up to date. I will use their contacts though.

Minor hijack, but since you got what appears to be a good factual answer, there’s just time to kill until a moderator gets fed up and locks the thread, so…

That made me smile. You must have been posting from your smartphone, too.

Yes I did mistype smartphone from a smartphone so I guess it’s not that smart. I am still unsure as to the accuracy of the [ask.com](http://ask.com) hit and am hoping someone else can confirm it.

Hmm that is who books him. That looks like a great road to go down. Hopefully if they are not the right party they will forward a politely written letter to the appropriate party.

I did a little further looking and think you should hit the guy at Paradigm. They are a conglomeration of management agencies and have their fingers in a lot of pies. Billy Joel is not listed on their roster but that is not really a surprise, Stephen Small his purported agent is listed. Often “Big Stars” are not publicly listed because…

1. If you have business with them, you know who their agent is.

2. Keeps the riff-raff and fan mail to a minimum.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting
