Maria Forte adds: “I have always believed in the importance of a good, solid, accurate, transparent and bespoke administration service for music industry artists and writers. Fintage Music accomplishes all of that and continually strives to give that certain edge that an artist or writer deserves to have in relation to the management of their copyrights and the service they receive. This effort is endemic throughout their company, resulting in the provision of truly exceptional services. I am really very pleased and excited to be working with Fintage Music and to be able to offer our combined experience and skill sets in the UK.”

Forte has worked with many artists including Jazzie B, a relationship that has continued since her days at Virgin and The Wedding Present and their label Scopitones.
