The Team
Seven has been working within the entertainment industry for the last 30 years since taking on worldwide management of Sasha and helping establish him as arguably the first global superstar DJ. Since this time Seven has continued to manage a plethora of famous name Top 40 artists and DJs that have included the likes of Dido, Andy Taylor (Duran Duran), DJ’s Carl Cox & John Digweed through to the company's current roster that includes the multi million selling rock band REEF, Welsh Reggae Metal band Skindred whose new album Smile smashed the UK National albums charts at No:2 and Heavy Metal Legends Saxon who have racked up over 13 million album sales Worldwide. Seven was also recently appointed as music business ambassador for the first ever BA (Hons) Music Business Degree in the UK, to give equal weighting to the concept of Entrepreneurship by the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP).
Working his way through the ranks at Chrysalis Records, from initially stuffing envelopes and making tea, through to becoming a successful A&R Manager making and breaking hit artists like Eric B & Rakim, Monie Love, Adeva & The Brand New Heavies, it was not long before he caught the eye of A&M Records Director Howard Berman who appointed him as Senior A&R Manager where he worked with numerous artists including Bryan Adams, Sting, Janet Jackson, Soundgarden, Alexander O Neil, Dina Carroll, Sounds of Blackness & Suzanne Vega, as well as setting up the world famous dance imprint AM PM where he also enjoyed a plethora of hits including the likes of Crystal Walters classic Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee La Da Da) & Ce Ce Peniston’s - Finally.
While enjoying a hugely successful six year tenure at A&M it was again time to move on. This time with MCA Records MD Nick Phillips appointing him as Global Director of A&R overseeing all 52 labels across the MCA (Universal Group).
After a spectacularly successful 5 years at MCA which included working with the likes of No Doubt, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, The Eagles, Bush & Black Grape to name but a few and following the global acquisition by French Mass Media Conglomerate Vivendi it was clearly time for a change . Needless to say it was not long before he teamed up with longtime friend and kindred spirit music manager Seven Webster to initially co-manage hit dance artist producer Darren Tate achieving 8 Top 40 singles under a range of pseudonyms including DT8, Orion, Angelic and /strong>Jurgen Vries. Following this it was just a matter of finding more artists and projects to work on together.
