Taking Manchester's music expertise to the world — and bringing new opportunities home.
Damian represents and champions the Greater Manchester music community internationally, participating in trade missions, conferences and industry exchanges designed to build relationships between the UK and key global music markets.
His international work combines artist development, education and music business expertise with relationship-building across labels, promoters, festivals, music organisations and cultural institutions.
The objective goes beyond networking: creating meaningful international partnerships and practical opportunities for artists, educators and music businesses.
I have had the pleasure of working with you over the past 7 years in my role discovering songwriting talent for Universal Music Publishing. Our process is always efficient, professional, and most importantly, realistic. You have proven consistently you understand the nuances of development and the creative freedom young people need to flourish using bespoke programmes for each of your artists.
Pete Simmons - Head of A&R, Universal Music
