The roster, on shuffle.
Every visit starts somewhere else on the roster. Press play and it keeps going while you look around the site.
The roster
A manager each, not a place in a queue.
2 represented, 5 in development. We add artists slowly, so everyone here gets a manager who knows their numbers, their diary and their next twelve months.

Before you apply
Who we are right for.
We would rather say it now than after an hour on the phone. A small roster only works if every artist on it is one we can genuinely help.
A good fit if you
- Already play live or release music, and want to make it your living
- Have songs or a repertoire you are proud of, in any genre
- Work in the UK, the Netherlands or across Europe
- Want a plan and someone to hold you to it, not just a booker
Probably not right if you
- Are looking for a label advance or someone to fund recordings
- Only need one tour or one booking: an agent suits that better
- Want overnight streaming numbers nobody can honestly promise
What changes
Your week, before and after.
| Area | On your own | With Emberlight |
|---|---|---|
| Bookings | Chasing venues by email, guessing at fees | We pitch, agree the fee, send the contract and the day sheet |
| Releases | Upload and hope | A plan week by week, and pitches to press, radio and playlists in time |
| Money | Invoices in a spreadsheet, late payers | Invoices and reminders sent for you, every figure on your monthly report |
| Opportunities | Deadlines missed | Showcase and festival rounds tracked, applications started for you |
| Your time | Half of it on admin | On the music |
What it costs
20 per cent. Try your own numbers.
Commission is 20 per cent of gross on most work. Touring is commissioned on what is left after its costs, so a tour that only breaks even costs you nothing. Recording budgets, tour support, session fees and deals you had before us are never commissioned.
What is left after costs£4,000
Our 20 per cent£800
You keep£3,200
Modern management
We run our roster on our own software.
Bookings, diaries, release plans, follower numbers and money, live for every artist, with a written report each month. It is the same system other managers and agents now use, called The Desk.

The people
Who you would work with.
Every artist has one named manager, met on the first call, not after signing. Around the team: specialist music lawyers, accountants, agents and publishers, chosen for each artist.
Andrew Collins
Founder and Chief Executive · London and Amsterdam
Sets the strategy and the terms, and manages artists directly. Thirty years of building companies, and founder of Grant & Graham in 2009.
Queenie Cestaro
Director of Content, Social and Media · Cambridge
The plan for each artist’s channels, the content around releases and shows, and the relationship with press.
Victoria
Commercial Lead
Bookings, partnerships and the deals that follow, and making sure what was agreed is what gets paid.
Amelia
Research
Markets, venues, audiences and opportunities, so decisions about where an artist goes next are made on evidence.

- 5The first 90 daysSet up, first pitches, first monthly report.Then the plan runs
Do I pay anything to apply or to meet?
No. Applying, the conversation and the 12 month plan are free. Commission only starts on work after you sign.
How long is the agreement?
Three years, then it rolls on a year at a time with 90 days notice either way. Your website, contacts, dates and financial records are always yours.
What happens to commission if we part ways?
On work set up while we managed you, it steps down from 20 to 10 to 5 per cent over three years, then stops. Nothing new after you leave is commissioned.
Do you take on every genre?
Yes. The roster runs from country folk pop to classical conducting and R&B. What matters is that we know who books and plays your kind of music.
Want to be on this playlist?
Tell us what you are working on and where you want to be in five years. We read every application properly, and we reply to everyone, including when the answer is no.
