Amy Morgan has moved from Beggars Music to September Management, Music Week can exclusively reveal.
Morgan was promoted to MD at Beggars Music in February last year, and joins September to set up and run its publishing company. Morgan continues to manage Glass Animals and has taken on Bakar.
“Leaving Beggars Music after almost 10 years wasn’t an easy decision,” Morgan told Music Week. “I’m incredibly proud of the artists and team there, and Andy Heath, Martin Mills and the Beggars family are amazing people to work with and learn from.”
Morgan has welcomed the new challenge at September, where she will report to founder and CEO Jonathan Dickins.
“The opportunity to combine the management and publishing sides of my career and to start a new venture with Jonathan was impossible to walk away from,” she said. “I’m really excited about working with the September team to build our publishing arm from the ground up and for everything that’s to come with Glass Animals and Bakar.”

I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future in her role as Glass Animals manager. September are very fortunate to be working with her."
