Sam Jones

Lecturer in Management

I am an educator, creative producer & music consultant based in Cornwall. I work internationally on project artistic direction, design and production, co-creation, and audience engagement. I've built and designed modules for post and undergraduate courses in the Music Industry and Global Creative Industries. I've worked closely with many non/governmental departments and grassroots music initiatives. 

I've led teams producing high-impact arts and culture festivals/events and content with diverse stakeholders. I've built teams and established renowned performing arts venues in historic buildings across the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa. I've led groups producing high-impact arts and culture festivals and content with diverse stakeholders. I often work with cultural institutions such as the British Council, Goethe, HIVOS, BBC, GLA, Heritage Fund, Arts Council England and PRS Foundation, working closely with local authorities and community leaders. And I often receive grants from the Arts Council and the British Council. 

As a music producer, I’ve worked with many household names and emerging grassroots artists. My studio was in London for over eight years, and I’m now building a residential recording space and creative retreat in Cornwall. Working with local partners to route artists into our leading creative rural communities, record their music and organise local collaborations. 

My research interests include tracing the role of cultural relations organisations in international touring and festival management. Exploring how artistic freedoms are exercised where funding from the global north facilitates events in the global south.
