TCO Launches Downunder

TCO Artists launched Feb. 10 in Sydney as a management and full-service company.

The first two management signings are successful country sister act The McClymonts and rising, southern rock-inspired Adam Eckersly Band.

Both have new releases over the next few months.

The company was set up by label veteran Dan Biddle, who tells Pollstar that TCO stands for “Taking Care Of.”

Biddle has worked in labels for 15 years in the areas of sales, promotions and marketing in the Australian affiliates of BMG, Universal Music and, most recently, as marketing manager at Sony Music.

He said he believes his move to management is timely, adding, “I can see that this is an entrepreneur’s industry right now.”
