What’s it like to be a… band manager?
AMI JAY, FOUNDER OF AJM ARTIST MANAGEMENT, ON LIFE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
WORDS CARRIE LYELL
DIVA: How long have you been in this job?
AMI JAY: I launched AJM in 2010 in my first year at Buckinghamshire New University where I was studying BA Music Management and Artist Development.
I decided to throw myself in at the deep end and run a business alongside my degree.
What’s the best thing about it?
No two days are ever the same! One day I can be sat behind my computer taking care of bookings, the next I can be in another part of the world managing an international tour. Being able to travel and work from anywhere is definitely a perk of the job. I also get to go to pretty cool events like the Brit Awards and major festivals for free.
