Motion Events is aware of the importance of networking within the industry and directs clients to the right source needed for their progression. We are dedicated to profiling exceptional, undiscovered talent in the UK and provide opportunities for them to excel in their chosen careers. We have an extensive database of useful, industry related contacts.
The Artist Management side of the business began in January 2007 when Linda managed an exciting unsigned, Neo-Soul Singer/Songwriter who performs with a wonderfully talented collective of Jazz/Funk musicians. Linda has helped to raise their profile by obtaining gigs within the clubs and festivals circuit at venues all over London and the UK.
Linda is looking to expand on her portfolio of events and projects with corporate clients and collaborate and work with more artists. Motion Events will also be producing live music nights creating a platform for new, emerging artists to perform.
