My producer roster includes Thomas Mitchener (Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Chappaqua Wrestling, NoahFinnce) and Sugar House (in partnership with 140db Management).Previous artist management campaigns I've worked on include Badly Drawn Boy's 15th Anniversary shows for his seminal album 'The Hour Of Bewilderbeast', Boy George's 'comeback of the year' (The Guardian) album 'This Is What I Do' with Kobalt Music and London Grammar's platinum selling debut 'If You Wait'. I'm proficient at visa applications, travel itineraries and tour & promo schedules, and I also believe strongly in Big Life's motto that 'if you get the music right, the rest will follow' so I take a keen interest and involvement in all aspects of A&R for our artists.I have product managed independent album release campaigns by artists including The Skids, The Futureheads, Badly Drawn Boy, The Sound Of Arrows and Hyde & Beast. I mentor and coach the management team at Big Life to grow talent within the company, and I'm also a sought after speaker at conferences and music industry events.I was assistant to Jazz Summers until his sad passing in 2015. Jazz had a reputation as one of the most notorious managers in the industry, who I was proud to work with and learn from for almost 10 years. I worked closely with Jazz on the publication of his 2013 autobiography 'Big Life', providing research, proofing and critical feedback, and he thanked me in the book for my ‘total dedication, objectivity and friendship’.
