Around 10 years.

Who do you manage now?

JoanovArc.

Where did you find your first client and what inspired you to take them on?

I was working with a musician that had no management or industry experience, so I used my knowledge and contact base to help him record his first single and get gigs.

I split my time between helping the band, my record business and working as Artist Liaison for a festival.

What has been the highlight of your management career to date?

What do you think are the big challenges for a manager in 2024?

Understanding the changing market place, brand awareness and development, creating a supply and demand model that works for your artists.

More than anything, they are ethical which is a major plus. They are here to help, but as with anything you will get out of it what you put into it!

What music are you currently listening to?

Magnum, Chantel McGregor, Kelowna, Druidess, various Melodic and Folk Metal bands.
