Simon King

Simon King is the founder of TourAdvance, a platform that tackles and modernises one of live music's most persistent problems: tour budgeting and advancing. With more than 25 years across the industry in artist management, sync, A&R and digital, he is Managing Director of Covert Talent, managing a roster that includes BRIT Award winner Tom Walker and Eurovision winner Nemo. TourAdvance grew directly out of that experience, giving tour, production and artist managers, agents and tour accountants a single place to build budgets, model different tour scenarios and handle the fiddly parts like withholding tax automatically, far quicker than a spreadsheet and still able to export one when you need it.
