Meet the 2024 Music Programmers
BIGSOUND welcomes industry figureheads Casey O’Shaughnessy (Select Music) and Katie Rynne (Village Sounds) as the new BIGSOUND Music Programmers.
The title of BIGSOUND Music Programmer requires a level of knowledge and connection to the Australian and global music industry uniquely found in the duo’s three decades of combined experience.
Casey O’Shaughnessy is one of the country’s most in-demand senior booking agents, working at Australia’s largest independent agency, Select Music. She represents a roster of Australian, NZ, USA and EU artists, building some of Australia’s most successful touring acts across all genres, ranging from acts in the infancy of their careers to multi-platinum, festival headlining and major award winning acts.
A fellow alum of Select Music, Katie Rynne now serves as a senior booking agent at Village Sounds, a Sydney-based agency under the Secret Sounds Group umbrella that oversees beloved festivals like Splendour In The Grass and Harvest Rock. Katie represents a roster that includes Something For Kate, Wafia, Alex Cameron, Sycco, Bad//Dreems, Miiesha & The Lazy Eyes amongst others.

AMNPLIFY – ML
CLICK THE PIC TO VIEW THE NEWS
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
