I have navigated the music industry through various event and management opportunities since 1996. From promotion to production, from planning to management, all aspects of event and career management have been part of the experience that has gone into where I am, and what I do today.
nicole colbeck, CEO
I began this little acorn journey in November of 2010, with a focus on artist management partnerships, but I also consult with artists on an occasional basis. Whether working with artists on individual projects or strategizing with them through long term career plans, my goal is to offer insights which are both fresh and seasoned -- I hope to offer that perfect blend of irreverence and respect for what's gone before.
I acknowledge with gratefulness that I work, play and live my life in Odawa (Ottawa), uninvited, on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishnaabe Algonquin Nation, whose caring for this land and presence here reach back to time immemorial. I acknowledge that the Algonquins do not walk among my family and family here, but we, among them. I recognize their long history of welcoming many nations to this land.
I acknowledge the long historical oppression of this land’s people, cultures and languages, and how it continues today. I fervently respect and affirm the inherent Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island (Canada).
Through all that I do. I will honour, uphold and help lift up the voice and values of the host nation here. And, to the best of my ability as I learn, I will contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
