Phil Christie said “Andy’s quite simply in a league of his own. He brings as much energy, skill and experience to developing the profile of new, unknown acts as he does a global megastar and that’s what makes this such a well-deserved promotion. I’m absolutely delighted for him.”

“I have a great team and we have some absolutely brilliant new music to work with this year.”
