EXCLUSIVE: I OH YOU Announce New Management Arm Of Company

Record label, tastemakers and host of parties I OH YOU have announced an exciting new chapter for their company today: the expansion into management with a new arm called Converge Management.

Aimed at managing and development artists, producers and songwriters, Converge Management will be led by I OH YOU's Johann Ponniah and Scott Armstrong.

Ponniah says, "I OH YOU has been something that has consumed the majority of my adult life and has allowed me to work with artists in a way that my teenage self used to dream of. I’m really psyched to see it now expand in a manner that will allow us to work with artists that we love in a way that we haven’t been able to thus far. I’m really excited about the artists we’re working with and what the future holds for them."

Armstrong adds, "Ultimately, our aim with Converge is to work with exciting artists who push the boundaries and are uncompromising in their pursuit of a creative vision. In return, we plan to pair our previous experience from I OH YOU with a sense of innovation and enthusiasm towards each of the many roles which an artist management team takes on."

Converge Management have also announced the four acts getting the ball rolling for the new arm — Melburnian favourites Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever, fresh from SXSW last month, Brissy rockers The Belligerents, Brisbane-based German producer Konstantin Kersting and Brisbane songwriter Lewis Stephenson, a member of both The Belligerents and Confidence Man.
