The Manager’s Playbook 024: Nick Raphael - Jay Z, Sam Smith, 5SOS, Imogen Heap, A&R Evolution, Digital Distribution, Major Labels, Fan Engagement & Creative Strategy

2 tim 33 min•26 maj 2025

In this episode of The Manager’s Playbook, we sit down with legendary music executive Nick Raphael, whose journey spans signing Jay Z, launching Sam Smith, and leading Capitol UK before founding his own indie powerhouse.

Nick opens up about navigating a health crisis in 2013 and returning stronger with global hits. He shares how streaming transformed music distribution and why today’s artists need more than talent - they need focus, narrative, and direct connection with their audience.

We explore what it means to build long-term careers outside the traditional label machine and why the modern artist-manager relationship is evolving fast. Insightful, honest, and loaded with strategic gems.
