I run a small management company with big ambitions and visions. I have worked in music for over 13 years, but only started Kut just over a year ago and am thoroughly enjoying the new challenges it brings. My partner is Diane from Deluxxe who has managed Tony Visconti, Beth Orton, Republica, Rialto amongst a few other big names....she's the organised one! check out www.deluxxe.co.uk
We've got a couple of signed bands - Scouting for Girls on SonyBMG and Touriste on Faith and Hope and published by Global Talent. We're also shopping a couple of others....always shopping something!
My background was in dance music. Managed several global DJs who scored loads of top 40 records through out europe. Also did their bookings and managed their tours. Have been fortunate enough to travel the world several times over, yet mostly saw airport terminals and Radisson hotels....sadly. But had some great parties along the way! Still manage Mauro Picotto who remains one of the worlds biggest pulling DJs.
I set up Meganite 4 years ago as an international events brand for Mauro Picotto. Meganite held residencies and arenas at some of the best clubs and festivals in the world and is now the second biggest club night in Ibiza, attracting 5000 people every wednesday in high season.

Best part of my job is helping nice talented people achieve their dreams. Worst part of my job is watching some of the afore mentioned nice talented people turn into complete w@nkers. "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!" Fortunately, this doesn't happen to everybody.
I love Celtic Football Club, my significantly better half, music, my job and my friends and family, but not in that order....
I'm obsessed with finding the next big thing, and....well let's leave it at that for legal reasons.
I'm half Scottish, half Irish, which means I have a double alcoholic gene, am good with money and the likelihood is my first born will be ginger. Oh and i'm balding, so the likelihood is my first born will be ginger and bald.....poor girl!
my heroes are Henrik Larsson, Andrew Loog Oldham and anybody with geniune passion
Always on the look out for new talent, feel free to add me. If I don't accept you, please don't take it personally, it's just a time/volume thing. This business is based on rejection, so don't give up, afterall this is the industry that initially turned down the Beatles.....what do we know?!
Good Luck!
Kut out.
