Prodigy Artists<\/a>, the powerhouse music management company behind some of electronic music’s biggest stars, has named Eric Bindman its new Director of Operations.\u00a0<\/p>\nBindman’s promotion signals Prodigy’s continued focus on scaling up operations and expanding its reach. Founded by Steven Haddad and Will Runzel, the firm represents a who’s who of elite DJs and electronic dance music producers, including NGHTMRE, Audien, SLANDER, Grammy-winning producer B\u0113kon and rising stars like Pauline Herr. Prodigy’s accomplishments this past year alone speak volumes: SLANDER’s national tour drew over 165,000 fans while B\u0113kon topped the Billboard Hot 100 as a producer of Hozier\u2019s “Too Sweet,” all while Prodigy’s collective ticket sales surpassed 380,000.<\/p>\n
Bringing over 15 years of multifaceted music industry experience to his new role, Bindman is no stranger to the demands of the business. His career spans artist management, publishing, talent booking and touring logistics for\u00a0Deorro, Two Friends, 3LAU and more.<\/p>\n
As he steps into his new role as Director of Operations, he\u2019ll now be ensuring the firm\u2019s infrastructure can meet the needs of its rapidly expanding client roster.<\/p>\n
“I think what I\u2019m most proud of is being able to stand behind the artists that I manage successes,” Bindman tells EDM.com<\/em>.\u00a0“They\u2019ve all had record-breaking years and genuinely exciting release schedules. Whether they\u2019re mid-album cycle or doing weekend warrior touring, I\u2019m most proud of each artists’ success in finding their own path and planting their flags in the sand and deciding what they want to stand for; and I\u2019m honored and proud to play a part in that.”<\/p>\nHaddad and Runzel also expressed confidence in Bindman\u2019s vision, calling him a “meticulous and skilled artist manager” who is well-equipped to steer Prodigy through an exciting era ahead.<\/p>\n
When asked about any critical developments identified by\u00a0Bindman\u00a0in the dance music space, he points to a paradigm shift for DJs in the live sector.<\/p>\n
“I think as the nightclub landscape is evolving and moving away from built-in club nights and protected rooms, artists have to evolve,” Bindman explains. “As soft tickets become less soft by the quarter, it\u2019s that much more important to double down and develop your core fan base. If fans know where to sonically find you\u2014and programming via festival stage\u2014you\u2019ll be able to foster a devoted fan base that can grow with you.”<\/p>\n
“As the clubbing circuit drastically changes, it\u2019s important to build your hard ticket history,” he continues. “Even if it means going from a 1,000-cap nightclub to a 200-cap hard ticket venue, it helps with the artists’ career longevity and helps to foster a true fan base. And here at Prodigy, we have been championing building hard ticket tours and helping acts build themselves in this new landscape.”<\/p>\n
