Budd returns to band management
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 30 March 2009
Stephen Budd, who co-founded artist management agency SuperVision, but who more recently has concentrated on managing the careers of music producers through his own Stephen Budd Management company, has announced he will be dabbling once again in band management by taking on responsibility for both Gang Of Four and The Magic Numbers, which sounds pretty damn exciting if you ask me. He will co-manage Gang Of Four with SuperVision’s Nigel Templeman and Dave Cronen, and The Magic Numbers with Dan Moore.
Budd, who previously managed Heaven 19, Tanita Tikaram and Big Sound Authority, in addition to his wide-ranging producer management experience, told CMU: “Alongside managing the producers, I’m delighted to be returning to my primary discipline of working hands-on with artists. I’ve been close to both bands personally for a long time and they are simply some of the best musicians I’m privileged to know. Both acts are making stunning new albums, so when I was approached by each within a couple of weeks, of course I was honoured and it was a no-brainer for me to say yes. Over the last few years as a part of Channelfly, and now MAMA, we’ve grown [our management] businesses considerably and now have amazing resources that we can bring to bear to work with these artists. We’ll start running hard at it now”.
