This week we welcome Chris Melian to the Odd Numbers Podcast.

Chris is an artist manager, providing guidance and strategy for Beabadoobee signed to the label Dirty Hit. He has previously worked as an A&R, first scouting for Odd Numbers’ own Nick Worthington, and in publishing too. In this conversation Chris shares his journey into the industry, scouting with a view to managing (“Look hard and be quick about it too”), the value of a label and management company working hand-in-hand, the story of Beabadoobee’s success, Tiktok (“TikTok’s like a radio station”), and plenty more.
