ie:music ltd

ie:music was set up in 1994 by Tim Clark and David Enthoven to manage 'Voices Of Kwahn' and, later, Brian Eno. In 1995 Virgin asked them to advise Massive Attack's young manager, Marc Picken. They helped Marc to turn 3D, Daddy G and Mushroom into one of Europe's top live bands.

Following their success with Massive Attack, they collaborated with Marc Picken to set up Massive's Melankolic label through Virgin and took on the management of reggae legend and Massive Attack collaborator, Horace Andy.

In 1996, Robbie Williams asked them to represent him and they have worked together since then enjoying continuing success over many happy years.

ie:music took on Archive in 1999, a band who are growing in stature and popularity all over Europe. They also manage Sia, whose first album was released in January 2004 to great critical acclaim, and revered composer, Craig Armstrong, whose latest album is a collection of enchanting solo piano pieces called Piano Works.

"David and I, in our separate ways, have done everything that one could possibly do in this industry short of being an artiste or producer; a creator in the musical sense. We've been store man and roadie, up to Managing Director. We've negotiated record contracts from different sides of the table, from a record company perspective and from an artiste's perspective, so the wool can't be pulled over our eyes."

"I guess David and I still believe in the ideal of the Sixties, which is more power to the artiste, simply put. I think in one sense, we're kind of enablers. The artistes have a vision and we help them realise it."
