My career in the music business started with 10 years in the Indie record shop trenches at three renowned indie retailers in Bristol, Tunbridge Wells & Brighton before embarking on a career in physical and digital distribution. The first four years were spent at boutique label & distribution services, Republic of Music, where I worked on a diverse set of releases from the likes of Fleet Foxes, Tame Impala, The Black Keys, The Knife, Caribou & more. I set off for a fresh challenge 11 years ago at Believe, the largest Indie distributor in the world, as a label manager for the likes of World Circuit, Brownswood Recordings, Tru Thoughts and have risen through the ranks, leading the UK label manager team and now co-ordinating our Got To Market strategy in the UK.
