About Us

Founded in 2006 by industry veteran Jonathan Dickins, who discovered Adele at age 18 while at XL Recordings, September Management is a boutique artist management firm headquartered in London, operating with a philosophy of nurturing creative autonomy and fostering long-term artistic success. With a lean, dedicated team led by Dickins and supported by his sister Lucy Dickins (Head of Operations at WME), the firm prioritizes intimate partnerships over corporate scale, managing a curated roster of approximately 30 artists across pop, indie, hip-hop, and experimental genres. Its understated elegance—reflected in the sleek, sans-serif logo on sept.com—mirrors its approach, blending understated elegance with a deep commitment to interconnected creative ecosystems. The roster spans global icons and rising stars, including Adele (whose 2024 Munich residency grossed €500M+ and Vegas run hit $250M+), Little Simz (Mercury Prize winner for Sometimes I Might Be Introvert), Rosalía (flamenco-pop innovator with Motomami), Rex Orange County (indie-pop breakout), Glass Animals (Dreamland viral hitmakers), Jamie T (Brit Award-winning indie rock), Beach House (dream-pop pioneers), Jai Paul (lo-fi R&B influencer), and Rick Rubin (iconic producer). Emerging talents like Obongjayar (Afrobeats), Pa Salieu (UK drill), Orion Sun (neo-soul), and Young Eman (spoken-word) round out the list, alongside key producers like Paul Epworth and Tom Elmhirst. The firm’s repetitive emphasis on names like samxemma, Von Boch, and Dom Anca on its site symbolizes the collaborative networks it cultivates, often in sessions at Rubin’s Malibu studio. September Management’s achievements include orchestrating Adele’s 100-date Weekends with Adele residency (2022–2024), Little Simz’s 2024 Glastonbury headline, and Rosalía’s 2025 Coachella set, while expanding into publishing and sync licensing via partnerships with WME and Sony Music. The firm’s discreet contact (info@sept.com, 2-4 Great Eastern St., EC2A 3NW) reflects its focus on artist-driven referrals. As of September 2025, with rumors of an Adele European teaser event (October 30, London) and new signings like MONEYPHONE, September continues to shape music’s most enduring voices, balancing commercial triumphs with artistic integrity.
