Consistently securing top talent

"Sue-mo was fantastic at providing a real variety of options for our main headline act at our annual ball."

"As Celebrity Consultant to the Prince’s Trust Urban Music Festival and talent producer of UMF, Susan Bonitto provided a comprehensive talent search, selection and booking service. Sue-mo’s remit extended to liaison with media partners to ensure attractive artist packages, as well as negotiation with labels and management to secure artists. Susan’s experience, enthusiasm, skills and commitment ensured she delivered the best possible line-up of talent for the Urban Music Festival with the booking of headliner Will Smith a major bonus."

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Susan Bonitto on Trevor Nelson’s Lowdown for BBC 2. Not only was she a terrific person to work with, Suemo also consistently produced results securing the finest talent in rap and r’n’b throughout the series both in the UK and the US. One of Susan’s greatest qualities is her honesty. If she said something would be done, it would get done. If she was asked for a booking which she thought may be difficult she would alert you to the possible obstacles which might be encountered. Whether the outlook was optimistic or pessimistic Susan always seemed to find a way to get results. I look forward to working with her again. It was an absolute pleasure which I hope to repeat many, many times."

"At Money we had to be gangsta and therefore there was only one player to turn to…….."

"Susan has played a key consultancy role to the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Russian Midsummer Gala Committee in the last three years. Her approach, connections, methodology and advice has been of enormous benefit to the Foundation and she has secured headline acts for the events. Sue-mo’s calm, clear approach and ability to troubleshoot as well as secure talent at the very last minute has been a great asset."

"Susan worked with us on the Kiss awards. Her extensive contacts, tenacity and charm ensured that we had a world class line-up on the night, with live coverage on Kiss and a highlights programme later that week on Channel 4. Susan was pivotal to the event, which would not have gone nearly as smoothly had she not been on board."

"We’ve been delighted having Susan onboard with so many of our big music events and her hard work and input has been invaluable. She is respected by the TV and music industry alike and we look forward to working with her again in the coming years.."

"Sue-mo booked Mary J. Blige for the televised Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony in Cascais, and Jamiroquai for the Barcelona event. Susan worked tirelessly and tenaciously to help us secure the best music act possible and her efforts, dedication and calm, measured approach paid off both times. It was a pleasure working with her."

"I ran EMAP events for 16 years and always booked talent internally as it was the most effective way to secure the big names. That is until I met Susan Bonitto who has a wealth of experience and relationships unrivalled in the industry by any independent talent booker I have ever dealt with. Her professionalism, commitment, dedication, relationships and knowledge of the business made the stress of Talent booking much easier providing piece of mind. She always delivered and so led to the successful appointment for the SH! PWP party in consecutive years and the first ever Kiss Awards."

"As one of the co-producers on the World Music Awards – Susan’s knowledge and extensive contacts within the industry, coupled with her marketing skills proved to be invaluable on this year’s event."

"Susan’s knowledge across a huge variety of music genres and her versatility as booker, negotiator and artist liaison made her the most important asset to our events in both London and Miami.

She always found us the biggest and most current stars – chart movers and legends alike – and NEVER took an artist’s ‘no’ as a final answer. She persuades aerophobes to fly and even divas to behave. Susan is simply one of a kind… the best!"
