Nowadays, @kimfrankiewicz is EVP of Worldwide A&R at @concordmusicpub . But at the start of her career, she was in management and helped steer INXS to superstardom. Here, she tells TMT about her memories of the late, great Michael Hutchence…
This week’s TMT guest also has some incredible party stories, including the time she had to “rescue” Michael Hutchence from Andy Warhol at a New York bash. @concordmusicpub EVP of Worldwide A&R, @kimfrankiewicz , is one of the top music publishers in the game, and has had a remarkable journey through the biz. From promoting gigs on Australia’s notoriously rowdy pub circuit as a 17-year-old; to helping INXS achieve stadium stardom; to big jobs in New York and London and working with top songwriters such as Daft Punk, Mark Ronson and Jin Jin; she has been there, done it and has the insight into every aspect of publishing to show for it. You won’t want to miss out on this episode so tune in…
Special thanks this week go to artist merch company @whynowmusic for the use of their studio.
