Rakitt Management

About Me

Rakitt Management was founded by seasoned session musician, BassBong Rick (a devout funk fusion bassist).
After many years slogging it out on the club/pub/session and theatre/concert venue circuits, it was decided to branch out and start promoting talented unsigned musicians/bands and get them the recognition they deserve.
Built on the back of over 20 years music and business management experience, Rakitt Music Management is dedicated to acknowledging genuine talent that's out there and assisting them in their quest for a career in the music business.
We also like to give these talented individuals a good 'airing' on the road and present them to target audiences on the live music circuit, as well as professionally organised events (in conjunction with Rakitt Events).
Rakitt Music Management is also adept at forming productive and professional bands from its talent pool of musicians; we have the ability and experience to identify the essential chemistry required (both musically and professionally) to bring musicians together and help them establish successful long term career partnerships.
Understanding the internet is a key tool in the marketing of new and existing talent, Rakitt Music Management is committed to building and developing the business and artist(s) profiles through this medium on an ongoing basis.
With a wealth of established media contacts via the web and other media channels (built up over two decades of industry experience), Rakitt Music Management is capable of generating record company (if required) and consumer interest for the right talent, quickly.
One thing we have learnt over the years, music is an art form to be enjoyed by everyone involved in it; so our philosophy is simple - if you are talented and passionate about music as much as we are, the rest will follow!
