Niriko McLure launches Third Person Management with Jarryd James, EGOISM & more: Exclusive

Niriko McLure launches Third Person Management with a four-strong artist roster and creative director services, TIO can exclusively reveal.

Based in Sydney, McLure’s new artist management venture is active in development, marketing and promotion, touring and live strategy support, and has a keen approach to developing an artist’s long game.

Currently, Third Person boasts a stable of indie shoegaze duo EGOISM, dance-pop artist and creative Chela Etc, tomboy-electronic artist and producer HANDSOME and ARIA Award-winning songwriter and producer Jarryd James, whose forthcoming second album P.M, is slated for release 22nd January, 2021.

Niriko takes into the new business an impressive skill set in creating and executing global campaigns for artists and labels outside of the roster, gaining experience with Specific Music (Universal) and Original Matters and working closely on BTS album campaigns and much more. She will continue to offer this service.

“Having the ability to take on projects and creatives based solely off my decision and instincts is a wonderful freedom, and working with a diverse roster allows me to look for opportunities on all sides of the industry,” McLure tells TIO.
