Project Management, Events Management and Musician

Life is too short to be all business all the time, so my services include music, because I can’t imagine a world without it, can you?

Tony Visconti’s Unsigned Heroes on Sky Arts

In the capacity of Operational Manager for Visconti Studio, I was in charge of organising the studio’s part in the filming of Tony Visconti’s televised series, Unsigned Heroes with Sky Arts. The project included all management aspects of filming in and around the studio and integrating Kingston University students in the project. The show was an enormous success for Tony and I am proud to have played my small part in it. You can see a preview of the outcome on the link below.

Kingston University Winter School with Tony Visconti

Kingston University, in collaboration with Tony Visconti, organised a Winter School where a select group of very talented students spent a week learning production techniques from the master himself. The stars aligned that week as Tony won his first Grammy for David Bowie’s Blackstar and the students were able to celebrate with him. I was in charge of managing many aspects of the week-long project including PR, student selection, international student travel and accommodation and managing Tony’s studio schedule. In the photo here we are all about to cut into a cake to celebrate his Grammy and a wonderfully successful week overall.
