In an uncommon spotlight on me rather than the artists with whom I work, it is an honour to be a shortlist nominee in the 2025 AAM awards for ‘Manager of the Year’, presented by White Sky, alongside:
Andrew Klippel, Ourness
Dan Nascimento, UNIFIED Music Group
Leigh Treweek, Handshake MGMT
Simone Ubaldi & Andrew Parisi, Sundowner Artists.
The Association of Artist Managers (AAM) is the peak body for Artist Managers in Australia, with a 400+ strong membership of managers representing over 1250 Australian artists globally. Its members represent some of the biggest names in Australian music, including: Tones & I, Tame Impala, Paul Kelly, Tash Sultana, G Flip, Vance Joy, Courtney Barnett, Amyl & The Sniffers, The Teskey Brothers, The Temper Trap, Royel Otis, Thelma Plum, Ball Park Music, Birds of Tokyo, Genesis Owusu, The Rubens, Baker Boy, Kate Miller-Heidke, Daniel Johns, Powderfinger, Sarah Blasko, Jebediah, Spiderbait and many more.
The AAM is a not-for-profit organisation primarily resourced through membership fees with additional programs and core funding from Music Australia, Sound NSW, APRA AMCOS and PPCA.
I am also honoured to be the AAM’s ‘Manager of the Month’ for April 2025, with a short Q&A featured here.
Very grateful for the support and recognition, whatever the outcome – sincere thanks to the AAM, and broader artist management community.
