Brian is a partner in Courtyard Management and founding shareholder of ATC. Together with his partners, he manages, invests and partners with over 20 artists including Band of Skulls, Eliza Doolittle, Faithless, Kate Nash, Nick Cave, Radiohead and Sarah Brightman.

Dedicated to finding the best business partnerships for the long term benefit of the artists he works with, Brian is committed to establishing the empowered ‘artist self release’ as a viable business option, both for the established performer and for those just starting out.

Brian is chairman of the UK MMF, an organisation that represents over 450 of the UK’s front line music artist managers who in turn represent over 1,000 of the country’s top artists. Through his work with the organisation, he promotes the opportunities provided by current technological change, both for artists, their partners and the music industry as a whole.

“Initiatives that provoke a revaluation of how successive generations are equipped to deal with adult life are worthy of support. The School for Creative Startups not only ticks the box but goes further by aiming to provide empowered people with the tools to create and deliver their own vision. That’s good enough to get me involved.”
