Recently, Music Victoria launched the inaugural Artist Consultancy Program, a program to support independent artists/bands with artist development and tailored advice that will enrich and empower their future. This opportunity was available to Musician members of MV, and open to all levels of experience; emerging, established and mid-career.
The lucky group of participating artists will have a unique, one-on-one, hands-on experience with 3 x expert Artist Managers that will assist them in recalibrating for their COVID-normal future, and empower them beyond this program. The following Artist Managers are on the Artist Consultancy Program roster:
Michael Parisi – Michael Parisi Management Michael is a household name to the Australian music industry; he has decades of experience in developing artists from the likes of Regurgitator, Dan Sultan and Stonefield, and has extensive experience in major labels like Warner Music and Mushroom Group.
