In 1999, Zita McQ left her role at London Records and FFRZ to begin Z Management. Z was based in Metropolis studios for five years, where she represented clients including the now legendary Marcus Dravs. Z Management specialises in producer, writer and mixer management and has now been active for over twenty years. The company continues to grow, branching out and incorporating musical directors into the fold. Boasting an impressive clientele, Z prides itself on the quality of music delivered and the very high standards set for the roster. This has led to both Grammy and BRIT Award wins and nominations for the likes of Ruadhri Cushnan (Mumford & Sons), Zita's very first client Chris Potter (The Verve), Dean James Barratt (Anoushka Shankar) and Jim Lowe (Herbie Hancock). During the company's twenty years, Z has worked on hugely successful, commercial and critically acclaimed records. Z also travelled to the Miami Dance Awards to receive the 'Best Pop Dance Track' award for Narcotic Thrust's top 10 smash "I Like It".Today, Z Management continues to flourish, having had recent success in the UK and worldwide charts with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Mumford & Sons, Shawn Mendes, James Bay, Stereophonics, Richard Ashcroft, All Saints, Jamie Lawson, Kaiser Chiefs, Feeder and most recently Craig David. Following the passing of Zita's husband John McHugh (Atlantic Live Productions), Z continues to have strong links and ties with Glastonbury Festival, including John's 'Field of Dreams' and London's Brixton Academy.http://www.zman.co.ukROSTER:Ruadhri Cushnan (Grammy Award winner)Chris Potter (BRIT Award winner)K-Gee (Brit & MOBO Nominated)Jim Lowe (Grammy Award winner)Michalis 'MsM Michael (MOBO Award winner)Ben AllenToby Scott (MOBO Nominated)Josh "JT” Thompson Adrian Hall (Mercury Nominated)Dean James Barratt (Grammy Nominated)RunoneMax Heyes (Mercury Nominated)Tim WillsSimon EllisCharlie WestroppAlex C EvansPeter Wright http://www.zman.co.uk

Zita cut her teeth in the music industry whilst at university, temping at London Records. Under Roger Ames and Tracey Bennett's guidance, she quickly proved her managerial initiative and A&R prowess. This lead to several promotions during her tenure, as A&R co-ordinator and later A&R liaison manager. Whilst at London Records, Zita was also offered the opportunity to set up a joint venture management company with the legendary Pete Tong (which was almost unheard of in those days). This company was later christened FFRZ, specifically launched to look after producers, writers and mixers. Zita and her team of young producer/writers from the FFRZ stable, worked on records ranging from East 17, Utah Saints, Gabrielle and Salt-N-Pepa, through to the seminal Massive Attack album "Blue Lines" (including the classic "Unfinished Sympathy"). Whilst at London, Zita amassed a sound and expert understanding of the ever changing music industry.
