About me
Towards the end of my school years I joined together with a group of friends and created a group called Blazin Squad. At the age of 15 we managed to get our music noticed by Warner Bros and signed a record deal. Our debut single topped the charts followed by 6 top ten singles and 2 gold status albums allowing us to travel the world at a young age and gain some amazing life experiences. In 2017 I worked with my peers to plan, organise and put together two sell out events at Koko Camden and Brixton Electric. Together we organised everything from venue booking, advertising, ticket sales, booking of acts/artists, stage setup, production and hospitality. Across 17 years within the industry I’ve worked alongside a number of agents, artists, artists management, PR companies, promoters and have an extensive understanding of the industry. I have maintainted strong relationships within these circles and continue to work on projects for myself and new upcoming artists. I have been lucky enough to have gained experience in both the old and new ways of an ever-changing and evolving industry. Whilst music has always been and remains my main passion, events have steered me into different avenues of work where I have gained many transferable skills. Across the last 3 years I have worked on new artist projects, including writing and recording schedules, video shoot planning, distribution, fan engagement and project marketing. I have a strong eye and ear for exciting and original music and I’m keen to work alongside creative individuals who share the same passion.
