"Our composers are everything - we’re all so proud to represent such extraordinary talent."

Introducing the newly launched Manners Faber Music Talent Agency, combining previous Faber Music and Manners McDade composer agencies. 

Manners Faber is a music talent agency representing music and sound creatives working in all media including film, TV, games and advertising. Exactly 2 years since the acquisition of Manners McDade by Faber Music, and born from the partnership of two established composer agencies – Manners McDade and Faber Music – Manners Faber launches in April 2025. With a collective history of 80 years across the two brands, the agency is led by Jenna Fentimen (Head of Agency) and Harriet Moss, former MD of Manners McDade (Commercial Rights Director).

Manners Faber represents the very best in creative, innovative and diverse artists & composers, with an emphasis on nurturing talent holistically, providing the support and dynamism for authentic creative genius to flourish.

Jenna Fentimen (Head of Agency): "We are thrilled to be working with people at the height of their craft, with an integrity in being an important head of department on all media projects they work on. We pride ourselves in working with the very best collaborators and often our composers work with each other. As a roster it’s important to us that our composers feel a part of the Manners Faber and larger Faber Music community. We believe in nurturing our talent with a holistic approach. Our composers are everything - we’re all so proud to represent such extraordinary talent." 

Richard King (CEO, Faber Music): "While preserving the distinction of both Manners and Faber Music, the newly-combined agency harnesses the extraordinary talent of the composers and creative staff across both teams, into one company. We look forward to seeing it grow into one of the industry’s leading independent music talent agencies."
