# Degy Entertainment > Degy Entertainment (degy.com) is a global talent booking and live event production agency. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Florida, Degy books and produces nearly 3,000 events per year across 30 countries. The company serves a wide range of clients — from college student activity boards to Fortune 500 corporations, military installations, cruise lines, fairs, festivals, parks, and private individuals. Degy's core value proposition is full-service event management: clients describe what they want, and Degy handles everything from talent identification and price negotiation to logistics, contracts, production, and day-of execution. Degy is not simply a talent directory or referral service. It is an active booking agency with licensed agents who negotiate on behalf of clients, manage artist riders, coordinate staging and production vendors, and advance events through to completion. The company also manages an exclusive roster of artists it directly represents, which gives it faster turnaround and pricing flexibility for those acts compared to third-party talent.
