As a passionate music and culture entrepreneur with over 15 years of self-taught experience in the electronic dance music industry, I thrive on building innovative brands that resonate with audiences. I founded multiple successful music ventures, including my latest project, ec2a, which I launched in 2020 after a career shift from festival marketing. With just £250 and a clear vision to make dance music fun again, ec2a has quickly become a leading label in the new skool UK Garage revival, consistently selling out physical releases and nurturing the careers of promising artists like Main Phase, Silva Bumpa, and Skeptic.In addition to ec2a, I’m excited about my latest collaboration, Untitled Distribution, which aims to provide innovative solutions for selling physical music in a rapidly changing market. My expertise spans artist development, management, marketing, strategy, and brand growth, all underscored by a commitment to empowering creativity within the industry. Honoured to be recognised with a DJ Mag Label Nomination for Best Label in 2022, I’m dedicated to shaping the future of dance music and fostering new talent!
