Lindsay Brandt grew up on the eastern end of Long Island — playing soccer, disappearing into the darkroom at school, and spending as much time outside as possible. She is an athlete, an artist, a devoted dog lover, and a lifelong environmental activist. She is also, proudly, a bit weird.

Lindsay has spent nearly two decades doing the quiet, essential work of music: finding artists who have something real to say, and building the conditions for the world to hear them. Above all else, she is a FAN. After attending the now-legendary "Two Step in the Rain" Dave Matthews Band show at Giants Stadium in 2001, she knew exactly where she was headed. She studied audio production in college and served as Music Director at WRHU, Hofstra University's radio station, developing both an ear for what makes a song matter and an understanding of what it means to be on the other side of it — in the crowd, changed by it.

Lindsay's mantra is simple: humans first. An artist is a person before they are a brand, a business, or a streaming metric. Protecting that humanity — nurturing it, building around it, never compromising it for the sake of quick wins — is what creates the kind of deep, resonant connection that turns casual listeners into lifelong devotees. The fan and artist relationship is the most powerful force in music. Her work is devoted to building the ecosystems that allow it to sustain and grow over time.

Her professional career began at Mick Management, where she led digital strategy for John Mayer across almost eight years and four albums — from the breakthrough of Continuum through Paradise Valley — spending significant time on the road alongside him. It was also at Mick where she discovered and signed Walk The Moon, shepherding the band's development and overseeing A&R on their multi-platinum anthem "Shut Up and Dance."

In 2015, Lindsay was brought on to help launch the management division of C3 Presents — the world's largest independent festival producer, home to Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. There, she signed electro-alt band Mutemath and took on a role that went well beyond traditional management: she launched an independent, artist-owned label, overseeing the self-release of two full length studio LPs and shepherding the production career of frontman Paul Meany (twenty one pilots, Pierce the Veil). It was a chapter defined by building infrastructure around artists from scratch — and proving that the right creative framework can change the trajectory of a career.
