Booking Director – Electric Castle

I have been in the music industry for the past 10 years supporting the local music talents. However, I’ve always promoted music integration embracing various styles and multi-genres from all around the world. Therefore, I started to book emerging and independent talents from Europe and USA by organising them tours in Romania and Hungary between 2009-2013. These gigs were organised by my own booking agency- a DIY independent agency in Cluj.

 

By the end of 2012 I joined the Electric Castle team occupying the position of Head of Booking and Event Manager. Off festival season, I used to organise club shows between September and June season at a local club called “BOILER CLUB”,  for a period of 4 years. I soon made a renowned name for myself – being called one of the most reliable booking agents in the region.

 

Since I am truly passionate about History I also quantify all my achievements.

 

  • 6 editions of Electric Castle – booking & working for more than 150/200 acts per festival edition: http://www.electriccastle.ro
  • Working per year with more than 20 booking agencies and management companies
  • 2009-2012 / 2012-2016- organised around 220 concerts/parties in Cluj and in our country
  • 10 European Club Tours for local emerging romanian talents between 2009-2013
  • Frequently attending at music conferences: Eurosonic Groningen, International Festival Forum in London and  the International Live Music Conference (ILMC)
  • Visited more than 20 music festivals in Europe

 

For me the music industry is more than a hobby since my entire time revolves around discovering new talents, listening to upcoming album releases, constantly reading concerts and festival reviews. I can say that I am a trendsetter in Romania since I am always bringing fresh acts to Electric Castle, artists who are booked later on by the other festivals and clubs in the region.
