Stepping Down

Diáspora + Fiesta Latina + Phasma + Rory
Going under new co-management!

Pam @ Tiger Music Entertainment will be managing Red & Black ensemble bookings going forwards. For the past 3.5 years, I have enjoyed the ride, but it has challenged me in ways which fall outside of my comfort zone and do not play to my strengths. Once again, it is time for me to hand the leadership baton to capable hands.

I must be honest about neurodiversity and social anxiety: coping with change / upheavals, picking up the phone, and confidently navigating interpersonal relationships. We are all unique in many ways, and each of us has something to offer. As recent experiences have shown, my quiet, admin nature is not suited to the fluid, fast-paced music management role as I would have liked it to be.

Therefore, Pam is now our primary contact regarding gigs, money and contracts. She will be facilitating mainly "warm" projects Diáspora & Fiesta Latina, plus "cool" projects Phasma & Rory as and when the opportunities arise.

This adjustment will allow me to focus on the creative aspects I thrive in — composition, arrangement, Logic / FileMaker / Weebly-based work and album recordings - whilst improving the working conditions for the musicians. Win Win!

Red & Black Music will remain the creative force behind the 4 projects. The only change will be in the way that the live engagements are managed and produced. My trusted partners Tiger Music Entertainment, Pam (management) and Harry (production) will be incorporating all activity in this area. This will give me a bit of a much-needed break, help me simplify my life and enable me to shift my focus back to the artistic vision.

Please note that this will affect hire costs and information will be updated in due course.

I look forward to working with Pam and restoring a more music-based relationship with everyone!
