Michael Geeves
Live Music Curation Program Manager
From my experience as a long-term musician out there in the field, I develop my artists into businesses who understand that success in the Music Industry is not necessarily based on how many albums you have sold or tours you have done. For me it’s about bringing a group of musos together that can not only create great music together in a professional manner but can deliver a professional show both on stage and on line that creates a real time EVENT for every venue. My particular area of expertise is in the production of a show. I work closely with my venues to ensure that their room and stage is set up to best maximise the acoustics so that bands can tune and tone their production accordingly. I then review the production of all the artists that I work with to ensure they can deliver the best show possible in every production specific requirement. I manage the annual entertainment calendars of a number of venues around Queensland and pride myself on my ability to source a variety of high-quality entertainers to meet their needs.

Live Music Program Curation Manager
What I bring to the Music Industry table is a high level of organisation with an attention to detail in every gig that I administer. I’m not filling gaps. I’m building your business whether you are an Artist or a Venue. As a long term working DJ, I know what works and what doesn’t in every target market and demographic. I understand people so I am able to manage all the finer details when it comes to specific needs for either the Artist or the Venue Manager. My network is second to none and this gives you the edge when it comes to finding the right Live Artist, Production Crew, DJ or Business Partner.
