My background is in music production/management / as musician and cloud-caster / broadcaster/sound engineer.. check Frusionista on mixcloud.

Experienced lecturer and consultant on international and national music industries business UK arts is extensive with many friends at all levels of the industry working with bodies like ACE, arts council England : PRS foundation : MCPS : and now work with international funding with the EU. My links with European festivals and events is strong and with many friends across all areas of performance and management. Always looking for new projects and expanding whatever pseudo boundaries we make for ourselves when I can.

My company Frusion ( world music/fusion etc ) ( formed in 2000 ) and now sister agency formed in 2014 FIZZION.eu ( rock-pop alt electronica and a lot more ) now cover over 300 artists from Grammy winners to high profile artist like Phil Rudd (AC/DC) to Francesca Gagnon ( Cirque du Soleil) worldwide throughout Europe as well as partnerships with major agencies and can source major artists alongside multimedia artists: we have agents working in most territories. I also act as a consultant, as a music manager across Europe and within all music/media-related activities.

In February of 2020, I founded UKEARTSWORK ... a free information initiative to cut through the misinformation, and misunderstanding regarding Brexit, to keep barriers to working still in both directions for all arts professionals irrespective of genre. This is aimed at not only practitioners but all services sides of the industry and promoters / engagers .. giving advice on amongst other things current visa/work permit/carnet/taxation and access to each market. This is a developing project and initiative which will morph slightly taking into account the impacts of COVID and also giving advice where possible on assistance for the coming months and years to support all aspects of the industry across Europa and the UK.

More of course to come the journey has yet to end ! :-)
