Laura Davidson, founder of Goldenvoice UK, has announced the launch of her brand new consultancy, Amigas.
Amigas offers a variety of live services including artist development, live consultancy, and bespoke and curated events. The consultancy consists of industry-leading women professionals such as promoters, producers and curators with an aim to build back the live sector in a new way.
Working alongside artists, management, labels, agents, venues and brands, Amigas will consult on live services covering everything from marketing and promotion to strategy and events with a focus on sustainability, inclusivity and innovation.
On the announcement, Davidson said: “Amigas was born from a desire to rebuild the live sector – not exactly as it was, but anew. The pandemic has meant that we are all looking at our lives, and what we want to go back to. For me, that’s live music and I see this an opportunity to do it differently.”
“Sustainability, inclusivity and innovation are really important to me and will be a big part of what we do and how we work,” Davidson continued. “We want to work on projects, and with artists and partners, who share these same values, and that energise and inspire us. In creating Amigas I am hoping to facilitate, inspire and empower women from all backgrounds to enter the live music industry, which means pushing for a big cultural shift. As well as aiming for all of our events to be carbon neutral, we want to embrace new opportunities in the streaming space, even when full capacity gigs return. We want to bring joy to artists and audiences, and for Amigas to have a positive impact on the live industry when it returns.”
