personal statement
I am different to other promotion people: I'm a broad creative myself, with a genuine passion for music and unearthing the new. I think of creative ideas which others simply don’t.
Over a lengthy broad career spanning multiple generations and all music genres, I have a proven track record, including:
- promoting Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody
- discovering Billy Bragg
- creating Simon Cowell’s first ever Top 10 boy band
- promoting Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, & Pavarotti
- ...and promoting cutting edge new artists
I have a natural intuition and "seventh sense" radar for spotting interesting talent, and have a wise owl knowledge.
I get excited about music and I’m always encouraging and motivating the new. I believe everything is possible and if you believe and visualise your dreams they will materialise
If you believe you are a star and you have a unique talent, you will be a star if combined with determination, dedication, respect, a reliable work ethic, and listen to guidance.
