About

EJ-Arts was borne out of the best parts of 30 years of artist management experience combined with a desire to embrace a fresh and modern approach to working with artists in today’s increasingly modern and fast-paced world.

Emma-Jane Wyatt says "in today's ever-changing world I feel increasingly technologically-challenged. The younger generation of artists are using this positively in their careers. I have so much to learn and I'm excited! I am listening more to them. This listening is turning in to a true collaboration between artist and manager which results in a dynamic and genuine approach. For me it is all about the team approach and I hope we convey this to our promoting clients, making the return engagement as attractive to work on as the debut".

In 2017 in search of finding new challenges Emma-Jane founded the 2018 Bernstein in Chichester festival in the city where she lived, celebrating the centenary of Leonard Bernstein. Always with her artists management experience in sight Emma-Jane subsequently founded EJ-Arts in the 2018/2019 season.
