An Ezra Collective show is a totally joyous, uplifting and euphoric musical experience
Jeremy Lascelles
Jeremy Lascelles, co-founder & CEO of Blue Raincoat Artists, said: “I am thrilled that Amy is joining us at Blue Raincoat Artists. I have been incredibly impressed by how she has managed Ezra Collective's career up to this point. Anyone who has caught them live recently will know that an Ezra show is a totally joyous, uplifting and euphoric musical experience - everyone leaves with the biggest smile on their face you could imagine! They are poised for an extraordinary next phase of their career. There is a lot of love out there for Yazmin as well; her easy graceful vocal style marks her out as a star for the future.”
Amy Frenchum said: “Having operated on my own as an artist manager for the last six years, I am delighted to have joined the amazing team at Blue Raincoat Artists. It can sometimes be a lonely and isolating existence when you are working solo, so having the backing, support and infrastructure of this great company will help both my development as a manager and the careers of the artists I represent.”
