Nick Yates

About

Yates has a broad skillset with specific focus on project management, communication, relationship building, people management, budgeting and reporting, creative thinking, problem solving and conflict resolution.

As both a Senior Artist Manager and Head of Artist Management at UNIFIED Music Group for over 12 years, Yates was the manager for artists such as Illy, Amy Shark, Violent Soho, Nina Las Vegas and The Kite String Tangle, among many others.

Having spent the last year leading the music festival partnerships for AIME (Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience), an Australian charity tackling educational inequity through creatively connecting marginalised kids with mentorship programs, Yates gained invaluable knowledge on how the not for profit sector operates while working with some of Australia's leading promoters like Fuzzy and Untitled Group.

Yates has also had the privilege of sitting on the Board of the Association of Artist Managers (AAM) and the judging panel for the American Express Music Backers Grant from 2018-2020. In addition to this, Yates has shared his expertise at various music conferences across Australia, including BIGSOUND (QLD), Face the Music (VIC), WAMCon (WA) and Australian Music Week (NSW).
