The Power 50: Jodie Regan

In 2004, Jodie Regan started managing WA group The Kill Devil Hills, kicking off Spinning Top Music. Now based in LA, Regan’s roster - which includes both management and label - boasts acts like Tame Impala, Pond, Haiku Hands and more. 

One industry insider told us recently that "there is no one that wouldn’t take [Jodie Regan’s] calls". It's a pretty fair summary given the year that Regan and her Spinning Top Music had.

Tame Impala aka Kevin Parker secured his place as one of the world’s most in-demand artists with headlining sets at Coachella, Primavera, Glastonbury and Splendour In The Grass festivals, an appearance on Saturday Night Live, two sold-out Madison Square Garden shows and a sold-out London O2 Arena performance, plus shows all around the world. Parker also inked a new deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing for worldwide representation, extending his existing Australia-only agreement.

Parker represents just one of the many impressive artists that make up Regan’s Spinning Top roster. Haiku Hands picked up deals with both Third Side Music and Diplo’s Mad Decent label (seeing the Melbourne pop group join acts like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis and more), as well as showcasing at SXSW and appearing on festival line-ups around the world. 

Pond released their lauded eighth studio album Tasmania, also joined Third Side Music and performed massive runs and sold-out shows both at home and overseas, including sets at festivals like Glastonbury and Primavera. Children Collide marked their return with single Aurora dropping in November, while selling out their first headline shows in five years.

"I am incredibly proud of every achievement of my artists, regardless of scale or grandeur, but especially as I know that each year reveals more and more of what they are capable of, as well as the excitement of knowing what’s yet to come."
