Ed Karney

Since graduating from Bristol University with a degree in Economics, Ed has worked in a whole range of different roles in electronic music: first a DJ and club promoter in Bristol in the late nineties, before gravitating into artist management, music journalism and artist press, before founding GRADE Management in 2012.

Drawing on his eight years working as a music journalist, Ed’s approach to artist management in firmly rooted in cultural context, music history and creative storytelling; backed up by the irrefutable fact that quality of music should always come before aesthetics.
