Cool Hat Records

About

My interest in music began in 2011 when I reconnected with an old friend, a
successful violinist, on social media. Inspired, I founded Cool Hat Records to manage
international musicians. Twelve years later, despite the challenges highlighted by Hunter S.
Thompson, I still enjoy the work. However, I am not looking for new clients. Here are the
detailed criteria for bands considering seeking management:

• Bands must be able to commit 6-12 weeks for touring, requiring them to manage or suspend
  their day jobs, family responsibilities, and other life commitments during this period.
• Bands should have at least three albums ready for release.
• A well-designed T-shirt and one or two other items should be ready for merchandise sales
  at shows.
• It’s essential that bands are financially stable enough to handle potential losses from a
  tour, including having a plan for recovery if the tour does not generate expected
  revenues.
• Bands must demonstrate exceptional skill and passion in their music, contributing
  positively to the world through their performances.

I only actively seek out bands that meet these criteria, rather than taking
applications or
inquiries from many. My presence online is limited to a neglected Facebook page, reflecting
my selective approach to finding truly dedicated and talented bands.
