BOOKING & PROMOTION OF MUSIC
My
agency
has booked round 1.900 concerts in 29 countries (single gigs, tours, festivals, clubs etc) since I started it in 2005.
It's based in Malmö, South Sweden. I also promote live and recorded music and events, for example CD promotion on behalf of artists or labels. Today I represent a handful of groups (jazz, blues, crossover…),
among others:

Men
The
list of bands/artists that I booked gigs for, both in Sweden and abroad, is long.
Today it's probably almost 100 bands. If you are curious, here's a list I made some years ago, it can be found HERE
In the past, I
represented legends like Abdullah
Ibrahim (2007 - 2014) and
Tomasz Stanko (2010 - 2015) in Scandinavia and in 2006, I booked the first two
concerts here for Tony Allen and his band.
