TMWRK's Zoë Verkuylen Blilie

What was the first concert you ever attended?

Raffi, 1985 in Dawson Creek, Canada. It was around Halloween and following the show my brother and I got chicken pox.

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

The invasion of social media.

Name a manager not in your company whom you admire.

Sara Newkirk Simon [Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine], who has always paved her own way and keeps creating a path for herself that serves her artists and creators.

You’re made czar of the concert industry. What’s the first thing you’d change?

Eliminate all ticketing and processing fees, dynamic and platinum pricing and promoter or venue upsells. There should be two ticket prices: advance and day of show.
