Management

Comino Productions is a boutique artist management company with a global reach. Since the inception of the company, it has been our mission to find and develop talent on an international level.  We believe in keeping our roster of artists small in order to devote the time and energy necessary in advancing their careers.

In today’s music industry climate, the role of artist manager has become an even more important one and we have welcomed the challenge of filling in the gaps to ensure constant progress.  Working very closely with our large network of booking agents, publicists, indi/major record and publishing companies, we develop strategies that support a well thought out plan in building the artist a career.  To us a long term plan is vital.

We encourage our artists to develop all their talents in the entertainment industry, whether it may be shopping their song catalogues for possible placements with other artists, or synch opportunities for film and television.  Much of the talent we have worked with over the years have expanded their careers to film and stage, voice over and, music production for other artists.

At Comino, we listen to all kinds of music and our roster reflects that.  As an in house rule, we don’t tend to represent artists in the same genre to eliminate competition against each other.  Each artist is special and presented that way when they become part of our family.

Since its inception in 1997, Comino Productions Inc. has operated under the direction of Allan Wells and Sandy McNerney out of Toronto, New York and Stockholm representing a variety of artists such as pop star Anna Sahlene (Lionheart Records/EMI Music Pub.), rockers Prime STH (Network Ent./Reprise Records/Warner Chappell Music) and producer Darryl Swann (Sony ATV/Macy Gray).

Currently we are proud to represent killer alt/country band Baskery (Veranda/Glitterhouse Records), the acoustic guitar instrumentalist Jimmy Wahlsteen (Candyrat Records), and hard rocking band set to take the world by storm, Straight Frank (Sony Music).

Please refer to our consulting page for other services we provide to bands and labels, film production companies, event production and advertising agencies.  We always welcome hearing new music and ideas for collaborations.  Feel free to drop us a line before you submit material for our consideration.
