The music industry is a rich and rewarding environment, but it can be a difficult path to walk alone and without the proper guidance. With my 30 years of experience through some of the most challenging yet incredibly innovative years of the industry, I can provide safe passage.

Writing Sessions
Writing Sessions or camps as they are also known have been an effective and innovative way of bringing together song writers, producers, performers and musicians to collaborate and produce top selling music. We set up and co-ordinate writing sessions throughout the year both in the UK, France and the rest of the world, bringing together Top Liners and burgeoning talent - most of whom may have never met before. The music produced from these collaborations has given many international artists top selling material. Our brief can be artist specific or non-specific.
Writing Camps we have organised :
For the UK (Surrey & Scotland), France (see below) and virtually (online in 2021) for South African label artists, Asia Publishers and other international companies.
The Writing camps for Midem , June - Cannes France 2019 ( Powered by Universal Publishing France and for Indies in 2018. A virtual writing camp for The Midem Organisation in 2021.

MUSIC FESTIVALS
I am one of the co organisers of SHOWME, the first live and digital music forum and a new way to make and distribute music. This was an innovative gathering of solo & duo DIY artists at the Zurich Moods club on October 2018 . Today, artists need to understand their environment and actively participate in their career development, so we invited a selection of ‘Do It Yourself’ musicians as well as music business professionals, agents, promoters, programmers and managers to collaborate with the Show-me community during this event.

Teaching
I have an incredible passion for the music industry and extensive knowledge of procedure and practices from my years of experience. The opportunity to be able to share this is amazing - to be able to inform and influence the music industry collaborators of tomorrow is a treasured privilege.
I currently lecture for various schools and Universities ie ESG ( L'École Supérieure de Gestion) or EMIC (École de Management des Industries Créatives) in Paris.
