Can you tell us a bit about the company’s history and its roster? Founded in 2007, Pitch & Smith is an international booking agency representing a diverse roster of exceptional artists from across the globe.

Zooni (UK), brand new art-pop band from Brighton signed to Square Leg records. Sounds like Radiohead, Nick Drake, Grizzly Bear, Flaming Lips.
Mike Krol (US), Merge records signed garage-rock / power-pop hero. The Strokes meets Weezer via Misfits.

What was the moment you decided you wanted to work with music? Going to my first show on my own at 14, and realising the magic of seeing my favourite music being played right in front of me.

What are your favourite Danish acts? Yung, Holm and Mew, of course!

Best show you’ve ever seen hands down? Too tough! I promoted The Bronx at my old venue in 2012 (I think). Working with one of my favourite bands in a 250 capacity sold out show with everyone going crazy.
