Breakthrough Artist Manager Short List revealed

Adele’s 25 was released in November 2015, debuted at No.1 in 25 countries around the world smashing records for first week sales and has sold in excess of 20 million copies to date. The ‘Hello’ video was the quickest video ever to reach 100 million views on YouTube. Awards have been heaped upon awards and the live tour is just about to pause in the US after 107 dates worldwide.
Jonathan Dickins is the founder and managing director of September Management and the artist manager of multiple Grammy Award, Oscar and Golden Globe winning artist Adele Adkins who he has managed from the start. September now has a roster of 16 artists including producer (and Adele collaborator) Paul Epworth as well as a host of developing and successful creators.
MMF Chief Executive Annabella Coldrick said “I watched the campaign for 25 unfold before joining the MMF. The voice of the artist shone through an impressive subtle, yet precise, global campaign that put the music first. Management is about sharing an artists’ vision and delivering it and Jonathan delivered the last part of the trilogy with exemplary skill. We are so pleased that he has accepted the Manager of the Year Award”
