My work sees me operating alongside and in between music managers, lawyers and accountants, so if you are a creative working in the music industry in need of some support with a music rights or business matter, I am likely well placed to support you.
Over the years (based between Manchester and London), I have represented songwriters, producers, recording artists and everyone in between. I provide a number of discreet, behind-the-scenes services to anyone in need, including music managers.
Whether you're worried you're not receiving all of your royalties, you need help with getting the terms of a deal finalised, or are in the midst of a tricky rights dispute - if you need experienced, independent and impartial advice, then I am here to help.
My motto has always been, 'I will have a coffee with anyone, once', as you simply never know who you will meet. Networking remains vital to a creative's success and I continue to offer creatives in need of help a free, 20 minute 'coffee' - with no strings attached.
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT...

I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE...
I have an overwhelming desire to ensure that all creatives in the music industry have access to quality, independent and trusted advice and support. It's really that simple.
On a daily basis I help equip creatives to become as informed as possible ahead of making key decisions relating to the management of their business affairs - with a specific focus on matters relating to their music rights and royalties.
I do what I do because I want to safeguard and empower creatives to make well-informed decisions in order to generate and develop innovative opportunities and sustainable revenue streams for the long term.
