ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this clip from The Manager’s Playbook, David Dollimore reflects on the intense culture that shaped his early years at Ministry of Sound.
He breaks down what it meant to deliver under pressure, how trust and loyalty led to equity, and why Ministry had to evolve beyond dance music. David also shares stories about signing London Grammar, hearing Jessie Reyez’s “Figures” for the first time, and why getting on a plane early can make all the difference.
A sharp conversation on A&R, artist development, talent discovery, label culture, and the instincts it takes to spot something before the rest of the music business catches up.
Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
