Founder
Remote Control 2.0
“Pat has worked in the highly competitive Music industry for over 30 years, while award-winning as a marketing specialist, she has also run 3 successful independent companies, including the much-loved Infectious Music (twice!). She has worked on artists as diverse as the Mercury Prize winning alt-J, DMA’s, Blondie, Ry X, Ash, Local Natives, Rick Astley and the labels Rise, Perfecto and RAM. In her last role as SVP built the successful marketing and digital team at BMG UK.
In 2001 she set up the first ever UK label management and artist services consultancy and after an 8-year “hiatus” at Infectious and BMG set up the new Remote Control which she runs today. In 2020 she teamed up with longtime buddy and co-conspirator Stephen Taverner of East City Management (alt-J, Wolf Alice etc) and set up the indie label The Vertex as a side project!
Pat was enrolled in the Women in Music Roll of Honour in 2015 and was voted onto the Bpi Counsel in 2019 representing the Independent labels. She also serves on the board of the Music Export Growth Scheme.”
