Emily Savage

Emily is an A&R, artist manager, music journalist and publicist, with a focus on early-stage artist development.

Based in Manchester, Emily works both in the local emerging music scenes and on a wider scale. As an artist manager, she facilitates and develops aspiring artists in the North, with day-to-day experience ranging from managing artist brand-building and release schedules to liaising with labels, PR, producers, booking agents, and more. In her A&R Scout and Artist Services roles at US-based Greater Than Distribution, she collaborates with a global team in identifying and onboarding talent from across the world.

Additionally, Emily is well-versed within the press scene. Having initially started out in the industry as a music journalist, (current bylines in DIY, The Line of Best Fit, and When The Horn Blows), she seeks to platform upcoming artists through providing comprehensive reviews, interviews, and feature pieces. Emily is also a Publicist at Liberty Music PR, running campaigns to empower and champion independent musicians. She has further freelanced in writing artist biographies and press releases, with previous work for Universal Music Group.

Uplifting artists who are underrepresented within the industry, specifically female and queer artists within the pop scene, is a driving factor throughout all of Emily’s work. Alongside her various roles, she regularly creates resources for artists and aspiring industry professionals, offering informative and accessible breakdowns of industry topics.
