Navigating the vibrant world of metal music, I've joined forces with ensembles of all sizes, sharpening my ability to tackle obstacles and make choices that strike a chord. Mastering the art of negotiation, networking, and settling discord, my prowess in communication, organization, and time management has hit all the right notes. As a trusted and imaginative band manager, I orchestrate financial strategies, pioneer product development, and ensure a harmonious understanding of the legal intricacies surrounding the music industry and record label operations.
With a symphony-like mindset, I balance both holistic management and individual projects - fine-tuning the performance of bands in every aspect, one task at a time.

I had the good fortune, the pleasure and the honor to collaborate as a band with Chelf and her help was valuable and essential.
But above all I was impressed by her dedication and her love for everything she deals with as well as her knowledge of "extreme" music.

Chelf is a reliable, hard-working, always motivated agent in the music business and I can honestly say every band, big or small, would need a "Chelf" in their careers to make things happen. She's upfront and a fast, creative solution-seeker when problems do appear. It's very easy to work with her - no egos, no amateur problems. And that makes everyone's life so much easier.
Fernando Reis, Mighty Music
I've known and worked with Chelf for approximately 3 years now. As a journalist, I have always found her to be incredibly responsive and easy to deal with. Her magazine Metal Digest is one of the best I've seen for supporting new artists and her dedication to the genre is massively appreciated.
Curtis Dewar, C Squared Music
Chelf is an amazing journalist. Metal Digest Magazine is one of my favorite outlets to work with. Always delivering quality features and reviews, Chelf is tops in my book.
Jon Freeman, Freeman Promotions
She is the best manager out there. Why? Because she knows how to solve problems inside the bands without causing any drama and she has so many new ideas about promoting your brand.
