Good World's Chris Pepe

What was the first concert you ever attended?

The first concert I actively chose to go to was Aly & AJ at PNC Bank Art Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. I knew from that point on I was born to serve my pop queens.

What’s the single biggest change in a manager’s responsibilities since you started in the biz?

The emphasis on world-building—every decision, small and large, should be thought through critically in the context of how it pertains to the larger world you are building with the artist. Doing so in an industry where the attention span can be so short can make this extra challenging, but it’s so rewarding when everything works.

Name a manager not in your company whom you admire.

Ali Saunders of Full Stop and Sam Jacobson of Immersive. Humble, hardworking, heads-down queens who get the job done and are kind and loving while doing it.

Please describe your favorite all-time-favorite photo, memento or tchotchke from your job.

My Charli xcx and Troye Sivan Sweat Tour plaque. It’s the most incredible show there ever was and ever will be. Getting to watch it 20-plus times was something I will never take for granted and I am grateful to have played a small part in it.
