Philipe Cherence (FR)

Philipe Cherence started as a booker and manager in the 80’s and started booking concerts for various international groups in the 90’s.
He co-founded the fanzines ACCORDS & A CRIS and GATO NEGRO and the campus radio called RADIO BRUME in 1993, based in Grenoble where he was co-program director and music director.
After some qualifying trainings and a short stay at WARNER MUSIC, he joined in 2003 the ASCA team. ASCA is a cultural facility including three specific and complementary sections : an « art & essai » cinema, a cultural multimedia space, and a live music venue for which I’m the artistic director for a few years now.

I strongly believe that we must defend a European spirit, especially in these moments in which some evil forces are attacking a philosophy of life in which music, its enjoyment and its diffusion are a magnificent tool to defend cultural diversity and freedom of expression.

Armando Ruah - (Madrid )

It’s important that music can be recognized as a tool of “being together” at first. Live DMA has the duties not to forget social and cultural aspects of the music sector.

David Dehard - (Brussels )

Live DMA’s vision is that decision makers, the whole scene and the broad public see the role that clubs and festivals play in the whole ecosystem.
