Management

If music, live events and creativity is where my heart is at then management is certainly where my head is focused.

I’ve spent the last 6 years managing the Dan Reed Network that has involved two album releases, multiple European headline and support tours, one live DVD / CD Acoustic tour and a global live studio recording project that saw the band make an album across 3 continents and 5 studio’s all in front of a live audience.

I’ve also spent the last 15 months developing Nu-Metalcore outfit Manørs who have just recently launched with a sold out debut show and air time on BBC Radio 1 Introducing & Primordial Radio.

I’ve been fortunate to consult on various projects for Nate  Bergman and his former band Lionize that have encompassed the industry as a whole and I believe I’ve been an important part of the sounding board that has helped him create.

I’ve also helped emerging artists such as Twister with their direction, image, branding, merchandising as well as consolidate their place in the UK live music scene whilst giving them the tools and template to make that work financially.

‘Working with Dario has been one of the highlights of our long and storied career. He's not only a man filled with creative and innovative ideas but he's got the energy and passion to implement those idea and see them to their fruition... something that us artists often overlook having our heads buried in the creative aspects of writing, recording or being exhausted from touring.

Our band has been around the block over the decades and teaming up with a person that is a caring and dedicated manager who just happens to be a bad ass musician is something quite rare in this business, and is a godsend to any artist that is up and coming but also to any veterans artists in the business as well. Dario not only 'get's it', but makes it happen!

Thanks for inspiring me and pushing me to be the best artist I can be. I really feel like we’re on to something special and I’m very lucky to have you.

You’re one of the best friends and allies a boy could have.
Love & appreciate you

This is where Dario was exceptionally unique and different. We worked backwards , we installed measurable outcomes, he took ownership, identified and owned his actions. It’s honest, trustworthy and FRESH

This is someone who deep dives, has empathy with your business and cares as if it’s their own.

‘Dario is forward thinking and great at considering all facets of any potential decisions and choices. He is creative at core but experienced in a multitude of roles within the music industry. Perhaps his greatest strength, is the ability to understand the people he works with, at a deeper level giving him a personalised perspective when coming up with ideas or strategies for a particular artist. Overall a trustworthy, determined and perceptive guy that is a dream to work with.’

Dario has revolutionised our business operationally by instilling a forward thinking mentality and ethos to the way we approach our day. Taking this right through to implementing a new operating system and approach to our production process that has given Katherines the ability to handle the pace of modern business with ease.
