Genneah Turner appointed General Manager of the FAC

We are pleased to announce that Genneah Turner has been appointed as the FAC’s new General Manager.

Reporting into CEO, David Martin, she joins during a period of expansion for the UK trade body.  As the FAC enters a new phase in its mission to drive greater fairness for artists and music creators, Genneah will play a central role in ensuring that artists’ rights and interests are represented.

Arriving with over two decades of experience, working with artists at all stages of their careers, Genneah brings first hand expertise and a broad knowledge of the music industry.  Throughout her career, Genneah has worked across a number of areas including product management, label management and artist management, developing an incisive understanding of artists’ needs.

She has worked with One Little Independent Records and Quest Management alongside Derek Birkett and Scott Rodger respectively, running projects with Bjork and Arcade Fire, and running her own management company representing M.I.A amongst others.  Most recently, before returning to the UK, Genneah sat on the board of Melbourne's Victoria Music Development Office and works with the Victorian Government on art grants for the creative sector.

Genneah Turner, General Manager, FAC said: “It has been my greatest pleasure to have been trusted in the role of artist manager, helping recording artists navigate the business of music in a way that centred their autonomy, and created the best foundation from which they could create and share their art. I’m thrilled to be joining the FAC where I can turn that micro focus outwards to support recording artists as a whole and build on the great work that the founding artists started and more recently that David Martin has built on across the organisation.”

David Rowntree, Blur & FAC Artist in Residence, said: “I would like to congratulate Genneah on her appointment. Her expertise and experience in working with artists across multiple facets of the industry will be a great asset to the FAC, and I look forward to working with her in her new role.”

David Martin, CEO, FAC said: “I’m delighted to welcome Genneah into her new role as the FAC’s General Manager.  Her arrival marks an important moment in the growth of the organisation, as we expand our effectiveness on behalf of the artist community.  Genneah’s credentials are evident and her knowledge of the needs of artists is second to none.  I look forward to working with her in this next phase of the FAC’s development.”
