About me

Over 15 years of delivering seamless events and improving profits for a diverse and reputable host of companies. I have vast experience in sales and event management as well as sponsorship, creative production, artist management, and new business development. I drive sales, surpass targets and come up with innovative ways to tap into various markets encouraging new business relations. I’m well connected in the world of music, celebrities and brands and have worked alongside some of the best creative production teams in the business to deliver and run some truly outstanding events including my current 10 year role for Lovebox Festival as VIP and hospitality manager - the world premiere of seminal Rap movie 'The Art of Rap' directed by Ice T, European premiere of Irvine Welch's movie 'Ecstasy' - and full event management of Googles Christmas party for 4 years running. An excellent communicator on all levels and a natural networker, my contact list is extensive and solid and clients span across all industries. Alongside my events work I managed house/disco duo PBR Streetgang; 2012 - 2015.

Artist ManagerPBR STREETGANG
Sep 2012 - Mar 2015London, United KingdomFull Time
I looked after the boys for 2 + years and dealt with pretty much everything from securing partnerships, liaising with other managers, agents, promoters, and PR to drive and secure bookings and press, dealing with signings/record labels, logistics, booking flights, putting through visa applications. I secured their first US agent and subsequently their first US tour and the ones that followed. In a nut shell I’m good with people/making good stuff happen! So if you gave me a brief for example or told me what you wanted to achieve I can be left to just crack on and run with it without any further direction to bring together all of the components needed, co-ordinate it all and basically deliver and manage large scale jobs efficiently to get the desired results.
