Unblocked Beats (Managing Director, PromoOne)

Caroline Prothero has managed David Guetta for almost a decade. He was virtually un-known outside his native France and she had never managed an artist before when they met. He has since sold in the region of 5 million albums and in the last year alone his productions topped 20 million single sales globally. His One Love album has reached platinum status across Europe and Australia. He is the most in-demand DJ ever, repositioning the art to headline stages at festivals like V and T-In-The Park. He has taken Dance music from the underground to command the airwaves worldwide. Billboard credited him as changing the sound of US radio when he became the first DJ to grace their cover. Caroline has been at his side for every step. She has championed Dance music since the start and has worked in the industry since 1993. First as a promoter for Ministry of Sound then running the Dance Dept for Virgin Records, working with Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and the like. On leaving she set up Prohibition and developed the first digital promotion platform for promoting music to DJs in Europe. Prohibition became PromoOne and is one of the most dynamic services for electronic music. NERVO are her recent and second management latest signing; songwriters, artists and DJs who have penned songs for David Guetta and Kelly Rowland, Kylie, Kesha and more. They are signed to Virgin America and will release their debut album next year. Tirelessly pioneering the music she is so passionate about, she says “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”.
