Taylor Hanson has signed with WME for worldwide representation in all areas.

The Grammy-nominated singer competed on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars this year, and has been working on his debut solo album, planned for release in 2027.

The Oklahoma- and Los Angeles-based artist got his early rise as part of Hanson, the band he formed with his brothers Isaac and Zac; they released their major label debut Middle of Nowhere in 1997, when he was merely 14 years old. The lead single “MMMBop” was a hit, reaching No. 1 in 27 countries. The record’s release resulted in Hanson’s three Grammy nominations as part of the band.

“I was born in ’89, so I grew up in the ’90s, and that’s when Hanson was number one on the charts. I am a millennial so I can appreciate the significance of Taylor Hanson and how awesome it is for him to be on Dancing With the Stars ,” Stewart said. “I sighed in relief when he told me during our first meet, ‘I will do whatever you need me to do. If that means buying a cot and sleeping at the dance studio so we can rehearse all the time, that is what I will do.’ I was like, Okay, he wants to work for this. He’s in it to win it . That commitment is so important.”
