Here, you can meet:
Name: Leoni Dowidat
Company: Nuclear Blast Records
Title: A&R Manager
Based in: Germany
Can you tell us a bit about the company’s history and its roster?
Of course! For 35 years and counting, Nuclear Blast Records has been a home for heavy metal, extreme music, and hard rock acts. Founded in Donzdorf, Germany in 1987, Nuclear Blast currently boasts a roster of over 150 bands representing eighteen countries. Our satellite offices in Los Angeles, London, Hamburg, and Paris have helped build the label’s trusted global reputation with numerous Billboard album chart entries, high-profile tours, and continual signings of new and heritage acts. We have additional representatives in Australia, Brazil, Finland, Italy, and Sweden, amongst others.
And can you tell us a bit about the acts you personally work with at this moment?
There are a SO many exciting things cooking at the moment that it would go beyond the restraints of an appropriate answer here. Make sure to catch me at SPOT for a drink and I am more than happy to talk about all the exciting acts and projects I am currently working on <3
What was the moment you decided you wanted to work with music?
It is so difficult to pin it down to one moment as it always has been a very intuitive feeling for me – it was rather a journey in which I realized that this is the place I want to be in and work in than a specific pivotal moment.
Which acts are you looking forward to seeing this year at SPOT?
Thus, Koya and Danefae
Best show you’ve ever seen hands down?
Behemoth at Wacken (2018)
