The saga so far
Having worked as a freelance journalist and photographer for over 20 years, I have learned to see the music buisness from several sides.
One day, in a rare bright moment, I realized I could use this experience to help artists navigate in the hazardious jungle called showbiz…
In every bad musician, there is a rocksolid foundation of a great manager!
I’m still writing, taking pictures and designing covers, but my main work these days is managing, booking and consulting.
