KARATAMIR MUKERJEE
ABOUT ME
An industry-recognised, experienced and forward-thinking innovation & digital marketing specialist, with a strong command of all facets of the music business. Adept with tech developers, startups, artists, managers, commercial partners, & internal corporate stakeholders alike. Experienced within the major and independent sectors.
I’ve worked at the intersection of music technology & artist marketing for over 18 years and continue to deliver digital experiences for artists & industry bodies.
I am a vocal advocate for music education and music industry workplace relations. I have been ambassador to education charity Restore The Music UK since inception in 2015. In 2024 I represented the music industry at the Australian High Commission's round table to discuss the UK creative industry's workplace laws. Subsequently I have joined the Australia-UK working group on the subject, alongside Black Lives In Music, Fast Forward Music Conference, The Barbican, the former CEO of AIM, Australia's Deputy High Commissioner, and more.
I have managed digital marketing & projects for global frontline artists and catalogues - varying from The Beatles, RIOPY, Jean-Michel Jarre, Paloma Faith, Bring Me The Horizon, MØ, The Who, LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire, Yungen, Arctic Monkeys, Blue Note Records, Decca Records, Domino Records, and more… as well as territory-specific artists such as Empire of the Sun, & Angus and Julia Stone.
My freelance arm serves independent artists, labels, and industry bodies.
