Casey Gill literally grew up in the entertainment industry. As a child she went to sleep under the stages her mother photographed rock stars on. As a teenager she progressed from flyering for her favourite bands to managing the logistics that booking them entailed. During her decade of varied experience, most notably being media liaison for the likes of Elton John selling out 60K seater stadiums in South Africa (communication skills that could sell ice to an eskimo) & production on an MTV commissioned tour which included a concert in the civil war-ridden Congo (organisational skills that could lasso a fussy rapper and his large entourage), she studied extensively at Berklee receiving masters in Music Business & in Artist Management. Armed with knowledge, big dreams & duct tape, Casey relocated to London…
