18-HOUR MANAGEMENT'S SANDY RIZZO
biography
In this ever changing face of the current music industry, Sandy Rizzo and 18-Hour Management have found a specialized niche. She works directly with artists, their agents, business managers, and their labels on all aspects of artist management which includes local, regional, U.S. and international touring, live performances, marketing, recording CD’s and promotion of both new and established artists. With a proven track record of 25 years of hard-core, fast paced experience in artist management, Sandy uses her skills and experience to assist artists in obtaining the next level of their careers in the smartest and most productive way possible.
Sandy Rizzo has extensive management experience with various levels of talent and several genres throughout the music industry. She obtained her start in the industry like so many others before her. . . .by accident. Sandy is a certified paralegal and while working in a downtown Boston law firm, she met their clients Joe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith handling divorce papers and notarizing documents. Shortly thereafter she accepted the opportunity to work for Aerosmith's management company, Collins Management. Holding a variety of different positions within the company, she learned all the ins and outs of the industry.
"That was a great experience for me, as it really taught me the business from the top echelon of talent in the music industry", says Sandy
The next venture came when Sandy moved to the west coast and began a long career with famed rock manager Doc McGhee and the "highly trained professionals" of McGhee Entertainment. Working in tandem with Doc and the best that era had to offer, i.e. Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Richie Sambora, Skid Row, Caroline’s Spine and KISS, she was able to make a name for herself throughout the industry by honing her innate talents in management, touring and production. A decade later, Sandy found herself prepared to branch out and tried her hand with different styles of music and management arenas including those of Dave Kaplan, Doug Goldstein, and Terry Lippman. Within those management companies, she was able to advance her repertory of knowledge even further with respect to touring, production and management and successfully aided the careers of The Road Kings/Jesse Dayton, Gary Hoey, Pimpadelic, Dr. Dre tour with Eminem, Guns n’ Roses, The Color Red, and Adema. She was instrumental in keeping Adema on track with touring budgets which allowed them the opportunity to accept and fulfill being on main stage Ozzfest and write and record the song for the video game Mortal Combat II.
Sandy is continuing with her artist management duties and looking for the next exciting chapter in her experienced career.
