David Martin joined the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) in November 2019.  The FAC is the UK trade body representing the rights and interests of a diverse, global membership of music artists at all stages of their careers.  He also sits as a Director at umbrella trade bodies UK Music and LIVE, and at the International Artists Organisation, as well as the UK’s Council of Music Makers and Independent Venue Week.

David has more than twenty years of experience in the music industry with a background in many parts of the sector and in particular in talent booking, relationship development and event brand development.  Most recently he was the lead booker and Director at Dimensions Festival, where he developed the globally recognised music programme from conception, developed the label, Dimensions Recordings and led the festival’s accompanying International Series.  David has a particular passion for identifying and supporting talent and has always championed the role of artists within the industry.

David’s music industry experience comes alongside more than fourteen years working in UK central government, developing policy, and supporting and influencing some of the most senior figures of the UK’s Health Service and Members of Parliament.
