As the dance music industry grows and grows, Katie digs deep into the lives of DJs, producers, managers, tour managers, publicists, club owners, label managers, promoters... (basically all of the people who get asked for guestlist) to find out how they started out, challenges they’ve come across, achievements, opinions, goals and, of course, all of the exciting stories that they’ve made along the way... And there's definitely some good ones out there.
We're kicking off season 4 with one of the most respected and hard working women in the industry (as well as someone I've wanted to have on the podcast for such a long time!), Emma Hoser. Emma is a long-time agent and works with the biggest names in underground music such as Adam Beyer, Nicole Moudaber, Alan Fitzpatrick, Jamie Jones, Patrick Topping, Paco Osuna and Sasha - just to name a few! In 2008 Emma began working with Paul Morris, founder of the booking agency AM Only, which would later become Paradigm, and it was there where she began to build the incredible roster of artists she now calls family. Emma then moved to boutique agency Liaison, where she now currently works in New York. In this podcast, we chat about her first steps into the industry, the most challenging part of her job and what she loves the most about it, career highlights (which are huge!), advice on anyone wanting to become an agent and so much more. Enjoy :)
