Following in the footsteps of Charlotte Abroms, Jen Cloher and more, Melbourne-based music manager and publicist Sabrina Robertson has been named The Lighthouse Award recipient for 2018.
The APRA AMCOS prize was established in the memory of industry icon Linda Gebar as a way to support the professional development of female managers in Victoria and is accompanied by a $5,000 grant.
“It is an honour to be associated with Linda Gebar's legacy, and to follow in the footsteps of all the amazing past recipients—managers who have and continue to inspire me,” Robertson said.
“It's an incredible feeling to have my management work acknowledged this way, and I'm very grateful to the team at APRA AMCOS.”
Robertson currently heads up music management and publicity company Maths & Magic, manages Alexander Biggs and is the Creative Coordinator at Native Tongue Music Publishing.
“The opportunities for emerging managers to receive cash support are super rare,” AAM Executive Director and Lighthouse Award judge Leanne de Souza said.
“Congratulations to Sabrina Robertson, a talented and hardworking young manager who is passionate about building meaningful connections and community.”
