introducing a new era as an artist manager ♡
with Nashville-based Michael Dixon, I’m thrilled to be building an international management roster, starting with two exceptional talents: Elín Hall, an artist, and Baldvin Hlynsson, a producer and songwriter.
in 2024 I decided to pursue a long-held dream of becoming an Artist Manager.
and then this year somehow all the stars aligned ⭐️ through a series of events and intros (this business in a nutshell) at one point I found myself with:
- a management partner in Nashville with 30+ years of experience launching successful artist careers and managing producers
- an artist + a producer who wanted to not just work with me, but with the the two of us together.
so with Nashville-based Michael Dixon, I’m thrilled to be building an international management roster, starting with two exceptional talents: Elín Hall, an artist, and Baldvin Hlynsson, a producer and songwriter.
ELÍN HALL (IS) • Artist // Songwriter // Actress
