Work with me
I work with artists, managers and labels to turn ambition into records, partnerships and catalogues that last. A producer’s ear, an executive’s perspective and a practical interest in what technology makes possible.
Work with me
Shape the music. Build the career.
Creative direction, honest feedback and release decisions that serve who you are. I help connect the next record to the career and catalogue you want to build.
Start a conversationTurn ambition into movement.
Work with me as an extension of the team. We turn a broad ambition into practical priorities, connect the right people and move from an idea to the next useful action.
Start a conversationBuild records into lasting value.
Connect A&R, release strategy and catalogue development with the work behind them. Through Big Instrumental, our team can also support distribution, publishing, rights and commercial opportunities.
Start a conversation01
Start with the music, the goal and the decision in front of us. Get clear on what would make a real difference.
02
Clear priorities, fast feedback and ownership. A quick conversation can do more than another round of email.
03
Look at meaningful results, keep what works and pivot when needed. Let the small improvements compound.
Labels & partners
No nonsense. Direct communication. I bring ideas, help shape the rollout and pitch when it’s needed. If I say I’ll do something, I follow through.
My artists and I have worked with major labels and independents across Europe and the US. I’ve built close relationships across the dance music business, and I know how to work with the people on the other side of the release.
We work with distribution partners including FUGA and SoundOn. FUGA is a Spotify preferred provider.
