noisy and outspokenShow Notes
Maria and I were introduced online by the mighty Joolz, who I went to Uni with and Maria also knows! Maria is an artist manager for the incredible alternative indie artist Sinead O’Brien, who has absolutely smashed 2020. In this Episode, Maria and I talk a lot about the journey a manager embarks on when beginning to work with a new artist, her personal story with meeting Sinead, but also her history, why did she become a music manager and what experience did she need?
This episode is crucial to anyone who is looking to delve into the world of management, Maria shares some incredibly important advice as to what skills you need, but also where to even begin! We had such a wonderful chat, the conversation flowed very easily and I felt we had known each other for years.
