About

Connie Chow joined FUGA as the company’s Dance & Electronic lead in February 2021, following her 8-year stint as Executive Vice President of Los Angeles-based Artist Management company Little Empire Music.

Over the last 18 months, Connie has single-handedly built out the distributor’s Dance & Electronic division, globally scaling the department to include label clients across the UK, GSA and the Benelux from STMPD and Revealed through to Hospital Records; with this becoming FUGA’s largest and most prolific genre.

Connie’s deep understanding, knowledge and insight across both the genre and the development of clients’ business, campaign and operational objectives, both on a regional and global level, has enabled to her to acquire and work with prominent labels including Hospital Records, STMPD, Hexagon, Dim Mak and many more; seeing significant success with multiple campaigns. Holding a consistent track record in leading diverse teams and exceeding performance targets while promoting a positive culture in fast-paced work environments, Connie has positioned FUGA as a key player within the genre, proving that distributors who empower independent labels and artists, can in fact, compete with major labels.

One of Connie’s key achievements within the last 12 months includes the recent Martin Garrix album campaign, ‘Sentio’. The album campaign was made up of 11 tracks staggered across 5 weeks, mirrored in the style of ‘Spotify Waterfalling’ across all DSPs and platforms; with each track having it’s own artwork and new products with each release. This campaign resulted in an impressive number of firsts for FUGA - the album secured all 52 global NMF playlists on release, 478 total features across DSPs (including editorial playlists & homepage or NR placements) with an average of 53 per release; the total project accumulated over 55 million streams.

Another one of her achievements this year includes Hardwell’s comeback album, ‘REVELS NEVER DIE’ released after the seminal EDM DJ’s 4-year hiatus. Connie led the campaign to achieve features on all major DSPs, including #1 placement and cover image on Spotify’s MINT, Hot New Dance and #2 on Spotify’s Room Dance, amongst others.

Alongside her prolific work with FUGA, Connie is also on the executive board for AFEM, a Recording Academy voting member for the Grammy Awards and an inspirational mentor for the Asian American collective across the entertainment industries.
