James Inverne Music Consultancy was born of a mission to help artists articulate, commmunicate and achieve their creative visions. Former Gramophone Magazine editor James Inverne works intensively and imaginatively with every one of a select number of clients. "Artists can deeply affect their audiences," says James, "but the key to bringing them with you, and expanding their number, is being able to yourself understand, follow and live your story. And you must invite the industry as much as audiences with you on that artistic journey. The story comes first. Making it happen comes next."
Services include artist management, public relations, branding work, recordings, concert producing, as well as writing and editing.
