      Artist & Tour Management

      I established Fin Tours Management Ltd., where I successfully secured partnerships with numerous renowned artists and acts, overseeing the orchestration of their global tours from inception to fruition. This role was undoubtedly a high-pressure endeavour, operating within a demanding and dynamic environment.My portfolio of managed acts spanned a diverse spectrum, featuring iconic names such as The Kingdom Choir, Russell Brand, Neneh Cherry, The Vamps, The Magic Numbers, and many more.While my journey of over two decades in the touring industry has been remarkably rewarding, it has also instilled in me the importance of diversifying my business ventures and exploring opportunities beyond the realm of music. This strategic shift has allowed me to expand my horizons and continue to pursue new and exciting endeavours. Show less
