Cindy Agi-Williams is a Global Tour Promoter at Live Nation, where she has made significant strides in amplifying African genres and artists since joining the company in 2021. She notably booked Asake’s 2024 Lungu Boy World Tour, which included arena performances across the country and a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Cindy has also booked major hip-hop tours such as Gunna's The Bittersweet Tour, his fall Wun of Dem Nights underplay run, Blxst’s I’ll Always Come Find You Tour, and Latto’s debut headlining Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour. Additionally, Cindy was responsible for bringing Afro Nation, the world's largest afrobeats festival, to the continental U.S. for the first time with Afro Nation Miami in 2023, headlined by Wizkid and Burna Boy.

Her representation included a roster of renowned artists such as Rihanna, Big Sean, Andra Day, Demi Lovato, Jazmine Sullivan, Snoh Aalegra, 2 Chainz, and Blxst.
