Label Manager
Lily Connell
Hi! I’m Lily and i’m one of the managers for Damfino. I have a background in Fashion Design and Art, so I am very excited to be involved in the creative production side of the label. I’m a huge fan of the output from independent labels such as 4AD and Warp, who value ingenuity and foster creativity. I’m looking forward to being able for provide a similar environment for artists within Damfino.
A&R Manager
Lauchlan Bennett
Hi all, I am Lauchlan Bennett, and I am the A&R manger here at Damfino. I am super excited to work with all the different acts here at Damfino and see all of the amazing work we can produce over this next coming year.
I mainly work as a self-managing artist as I am both the manager and frontman of my band, Call Connie. We have played various venues across the West of Scotland ranging from 100 capacity venues such as The 13th Note in Glasgow to 850 capacity venues like Venue38. In the past, I have also been a solo artist, recording and producing 2 EP’s ‘Honesty’ and ‘Can’t Buy Happiness’.
I have also worked as promoter organising gigs and events at Malones, Glasgow as well as various other venues across Glasgow and have booked and played with acts from various different genres.
Some of my favourite artists are Fontaines D.C, Foals and The 1975. However, my music taste is quite varied as I am always open to listen to anything that I come across.
