“Pete Tong is a<br />
‘change agent’ and<br />
one of the best brains<br />
in our scene”<br />
“Today Graphite is really focused on artist<br />
management. In artist management your<br />
work is never, ever done. You will always<br />
be working at things, and always thinking<br />
about things and ideas. It’s a job I love but<br />
it’s inside of you 24/7. The most rewarding<br />
aspect of artist management is making<br />
projects happen and dreams come to fruition<br />
for the talent you work with. The work is<br />
about them, not you.<br />
“My first management clients were A Man<br />
Called Adam and Rob da Bank. I diversified<br />
from the start, as Worldpop taught me so<br />
many new skills for the digital age. I did<br />
continue to create magazines initially – I<br />
created the Pacha <strong>Mag</strong>azine, House for<br />
Soho House and did a number of contract<br />
publishing jobs. I have totally put that<br />
IMS culminates in the Dalt Villa party<br />
part of my life to bed, as the magazine<br />
production schedule did not work well with<br />
representing artists and dealing with the<br />
day-to-day issues that come up. So IMS is<br />
my expression of editorial content today –<br />
curating that has a magazine<br />
feel to it.<br />
Ben with previous IMS speaker Nile Rodgers<br />
“My desire to help make<br />
change came as a journalist<br />
at Melody Maker and The<br />
Guardian newspaper, where<br />
I had a voice that could<br />
influence the course of<br />
music. I guess I continue<br />
to think that way with the<br />
International <strong>Music</strong> Summit,<br />
the Association for Electronic<br />
<strong>Music</strong> (AFEM), and with<br />
Remedy State, our wellness<br />
platform for people in the<br />
entertainment industry.<br />
