About

Sturmfeder Management & Consulting (SMC) was founded by Johannes von Bentzel and in Co-Management with Thorsten Mewes (Die Happy).

Before launching SMC Johannes von Bentzel studied Communications and Media planning (“Kommunikationswirt”). Johannes von Bentzel worked for BMG Music Group, H5B5 Media AG and Peppermint advertisement Berlin. In 2005 he founded “nineteen95”, a company representing such well-known artists as “IAMX” (Chris Corner). In 2009 he sold his share of the business to his former partner and launched his own new company, Sturmfeder Management & Consulting.

SMC supports artists in all relevant areas including legal issues, management, tour management, financial and fiscal questions, PR, promotion and booking.

SMC has built a good network within the industry and cooperates with labels, publishers, booking and promotion agencies, graphic design as well as web design agencies.

Music in all its diversity is our passion and our love. SMC and the artists we represent mirror that diversity – every style is appreciated, be it hardcore, rock, metal or pop, hip hop, electro or singer & songwriter.

Like music itself, each artist is different, is diverse. To promote the artist, to assist him, to help him on his way to his maximum – that is the centre of how we understand our work.
