Congratulations to ICMP MA in Music Business alumnus George Philips who has secured a role with leading indie label, 100% Records.
George has been working with the team at 100% since the start of 2024 across various business areas including representing the label at the recent Independent Label Market at King's Cross.
100%'s roster includes many leading acts from the music world including OMD, We Are Scientists and Skunk Anansie, featuring Ace, ICMP's Head of Industry Partnerships and Business Development.
George's role is a varied one with his official title of Artist Stores Assistant Manager.

I'm really enjoying being part of a great team at 100%. Alongside being an independent record label, we collaborate with a wide range of artists, artist management and record labels to deliver great D2C stores, building a closer connection between artists and fans."
"The Indie Label Market in King's Cross was excellent. We had a great day in our own stall, and it was fantastic to see so many other independent labels in one place surrounded by music lovers."
Toby Harris, 100%'s Managing Director, said:
George has been a great addition to the 100% team, having a good understanding of the wider industry has helped him quickly settle in to his role."
"He was quick to take responsibility and deal with artist and managers directly. He oversees campaigns from start to finish, from new album campaigns to merch drops."
Yannis Iliopoulos, ICMP's Associate Teaching Fellow in Music Business & Entrepreneurship, said: "George's journey through the Master's in Music Business programme was marked by a real passion for helping artists grow."
