ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT & BOOKING

June 2013 - present

In my time working in the entertainment industry, I have worked with some awesome artists either as a manager, a consultant or a booking agent - always with the objective of developing the artists’ career and leaving them in a better place than when I found them. Below you'll find the list of artists I’ve worked with and some of our achievements together during my time with each act. Click on the names of each act to find out more about them.

BEDOUIN BURGER

Since the beginning of our collaboration, the band has opened for Tinariwen (Salle Pleyel Paris and Somerset House London) and has begun working on its debut album. The band is currently signed to Pop Arabia and works with Helico Music on bookings, so we are in touch with them on a daily basis.

YARA BOU KARAM

Worked as a consultant with Yara on the release of her first ever single. We created a strategy and digital marketing plan for the release which led to 9 playlists on Anghami, 3 playlists on Spotify and numerous streams / views that have put her in a good position going forward with her other releases.

(Consultant, Oct 2021 - Dec 2021)
As part of the Artist Academy by Harriet J.W. I mentored Mazzy on a 3-month program. Mazzy is an emerging neo-soul artist from the UK.
