25 years in the Romanian music industry: artist booking, event production, talent management, publishing and label. Founder of Forward Music Agency — Romania’s largest talent agency, with 60 artists. At 8th Note he leads strategy, partnerships and catalog development.
Known as Manuel Riva, he is an active hitmaker with records that crossed borders — from “Mhm, Mhm” to “Miami”. At 8th Note he brings the writer’s perspective into every deal and leads creative direction and the songwriting camps.
She runs the day-to-day of the 8th Note catalog: registering works with the collective management organizations, keeping rights and splits in order, and staying in direct contact with the writers. She organizes the songwriting sessions and makes sure every song is properly documented, declared and ready to license.
Founded by two industry insiders, not by investors.
