Ella Eyre
Brit and Mobo award winning Ella Eyre - discovered at 16, mentored and developed by AuthorityMGMT, together with Tileyard Music.
In April 2013, Ella's collaboration with Rudimental, 'Waiting All Night' hit #1 in the UK singles chart. She followed this by writing the #1 'Changing' for Sigma, the top 5 'Gravity' with DJ Fresh, and Platinum selling, 'Came Here For Love' with Sigala.
Ella won the 2014 Brit Award for Best Single, was runner up in the BBC Sound poll and bagged both Best Newcomer and Best Female at the Mobos.
Solo, Ella's scored a string of top 20 singles, and released her debut album 'Feline' in 2015, which reached number 4.
In the world of brand partnerships, Ella replaced Beyonce as the face of Emporio Armani Diamonds, partnered with ASOS, Bose, and Nintendo, and launched the remastered Fiat 500.
Ella was managed by AuthorityMGMT from 2012 - 2018.
Erica Manzoli
Erica Manzoli - Aged 22 and hailing from Peckham, South East London, Erica spent lockdown immersing herself in her thoughts and crafting them into music.
Her debut single ‘My Best Friend Is My Therapist’ narrates her feelings of disconnect during the pandemic, when conversations with her therapist were her only regular communication.
Further songs diarising her self-reflections, discussing prevalent themes of love and loss alongside visceral themes of depersonalisation and derealisation are set for release throughout 2024 as she cements herself as One To Watch.
Erica is co-managed with Pieces of 8 Music.
‘Came Here For Love’ continues to be one of our most successful releases - having now achieved triple platinum status in the UK - that means over 1,800,000 units, as measured by The Official Charts Company.
Looking for a manager, agent, record deal? Unsure if you’re going about it the right way? Read about our unique new service, the ‘Artist Health Check’.
Congratulations to Erica Manzoli for hitting 130k monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 200k streams on her Christmas single, ‘Death of Sweet December’.
Get a Musical Health Check
If you’re a developing artist, with some songs under your belt and a growing social media profile, perhaps you’re thinking about your next steps. You might be looking for management, an agent, a lawyer or a record label… maybe you’d like some feedback on your work… or a black book of handy contacts…
Welcome to our Artist Health Check.
Why? The Artist Health Check was born out of the many enquiries we receive each week. We’ve noticed that, while there’s plenty of general advice online, it’s difficult to get professional feedback on your project, and help tailored specifically to you.
What? We’ll listen to your songs, watch your videos, examine your social media accounts, take a look at your branding and talk to you about your goals. We aim to give straightforward, useful, honest feedback on your project. We can advise on best-practices, opportunities for development, and contact details for the people that can get you there.
How? Two G-Meet sessions with our Head of A&R, a week apart. The first is a shorter meeting where you tell us about yourself, the second is a more in-depth conversation where we provide comprehensive feedback, advice + discuss your next steps.
How much? This service is £249. Payment required after the initial meeting.
What’s Next? Drop us a line using the contact page, with the subject ‘Artist Health Check’. Tell us a bit about yourself, and include any relevant links, such as your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, etc. We’ll get in touch!
