About

Echo Beach Management’s founder and managing director, Jill Hollywood, has earned a distinguished reputation as a leader in producer and writer management. Her career began as editor of Australia’s 3D World magazine before she moved to the UK in 1995, where she gained extensive A&R experience, first at Polygram/Island Music and then at Telstar Records. Jill’s journey in management began at Big Life Management in 2004, where she spent twelve years developing award-winning talents like Jacknife Lee (U2, R.E.M.), Youth (Pink Floyd, The Verve), and top mix engineer Ash Howes (One Direction, Dido).

Jill continued building an impressive roster, including MyRiot (London Grammar, Birdy, Aurora), Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), Chris Zane (Passion Pit), and legendary mix engineer Dave Bascombe (Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears). Expanding into new creative areas, she signed orchestral arranger Davide Rossi (Coldplay, Ariana Grande, Frank Ocean) and vocal producer Lorna Blackwood (Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding, Calum Scott).

In 2016, Jill launched Echo Beach Management, bringing many of her clients from Big Life. She’s since added Ash Workman (Christine & the Queens), Ben Jackson Cook (Rag’n’Bone Man), Charlie Russell (Wargasm), and Johan Hugo (Self Esteem, Moonchild Sanelly).

Recently, Jill Hollywood was appointed Vice-Chair of the Music Managers Forum (MMF), a distinguished role recognising her impact and leadership in the music industry. Her work continues to shape the landscape of contemporary pop and support some of the industry’s most influential talents.
