Berlin-based artist manager David Swartz last week launched a new management company called Singular Arts Group in partnership with video director and photographer Matt Lambert. The business launches with a roster including Patrick Wolf, Mykki Blanco, Finn Ronsdorf and FaltyDL.
The duo say that Swartz will lead on strategic development and overall vision while, as Creative Director, Lambert will provide the company's roster of artists with "access to a substantial resource on imagery, content, and overall visual identity".
They added in a statement: "Our ethos is centred in a passion for fostering the development, growth and sustainability of truly singular artistic voices. We aim to serve as a vital source of guidance in navigating the path for each of our artists and we recognise our role to support and facilitate the realisation of their creative visions".
"There is a special intimacy between artist and management unlike any other professional relationship within the music industry", they went on, "it is a delicate balance of honesty and trust that must exist in a mutual way within our relationship to enable us to thrive. When we commit to representing an artist, we are dedicated to putting forth the most significant level of love and effort that we can in the name of their artistry".
