JFD Management

  Founded by myself, JFD Management was a boutique, independent company that offered high-quality career management to professionals in the music industry. It represented internationally-acclaimed singer-songwriters, musicians and producers with multi-million record sales around the world. It also represented a renowned residential recording studio facility in Provence used by successful international artists. As Managing Director of a small team, I supported and guided clients’ career development and maximised their commercial opportunities and income. My work included extensive liaison with lawyers, accountants, agents and promoters, together with logistical management and scheduling of concert tours and promotional appearances. I managed budgets, oversaw income streams from record sales, royalties, broadcast and live performance, sponsorship and merchandise. I put together teams of creative and technical staff for live performances including stage managers, stage crew, lighting technicians — and other creative and marketing professionals, including web designers, photographers, writers and PR. I managed cross-platform marketing campaigns, planning, coordinating and supervising record release and sales.
