CONTROL: The Business of Music Management today announced the first 15 music managers selected for the program.
The group includes six from New South Wales, four from Victoria and five from else in Australia.
The NSW contingent includes Megan Horan, Neil Hunt, Melanie Lake, Chelsea Sinnott, Jerry Soer and Julia Wilson. Joining them from Victoria will be Natalie Bell, Catherine Haridy, Annmarie McMath and Brendan O’Keefe (aka Oakies). Wendy Avilov, Leanne de Souza, and Stuart McCullough will represent Queensland. Peter Bayliss (ACT), and Brad Wesson (WA) will take the remaining two places in the program.
"It's great to see CONTROL reflecting the changes going on in the music business. Women are playing a greater role in shaping the industry than ever before, as are music managers,” said Paul Bodlovich, Chair of the Australian Music Industry Network (AMIN). "We’re looking forward to working with this year’s participants. The pilot program in 2008 exceeded everyone’s expectations. It really helped managers take their businesses to the next level.”
The CONTROL workshops will be held in Terrigal on the NSW Central Coast from November 14-17, 2010.
Mentors for the program include Keith Harris (Stevie Wonder) and Michael McMartin (Hoodoo Gurus).
The program is presented by the Australian Music Industry Network with funding provided by the Federal Government.
