The NZ Music Managers Forum are pleased to announce the October Members Hangouts. These are more intimate online sessions, held via Zoom with up to 10 MMF members, which allow our members to take part in a small group learning environment where they can be upskilled in important areas of music management. The two Hangouts for October are Publishing 101 and Record Labels 101

Record Labels 101 with Nicky Harrop from Rhythmethod

Nicky's 20-year entertainment industry career has seen her hone her skills across multiple areas. Starting with record company BMG in 1996, she progressed through roles in publicity, label management and marketing, holding the position of Marketing & Label Director for Sony Music New Zealand from 2010.

Nicky has helped shape the success of many local and international artists, creating campaigns for Stan Walker, Beyonce, Foo Fighters, David Bowie, One Direction, Daft Punk and more. She has also secured a number of sponsorship and alignment deals, collaborating with brands including Spotify, Telecom (Spark), Pepsi, Hallensteins and Tip Top.

Nicky is the General Manager for Rhythmethod – Aotearoa’s biggest independent music distribution company who distributes some of NZ’s biggest independent artists, an array of international labels, and the physical product for Sony Music NZ and Warner Music NZ.
