Macklam Feldman Management was formed in 1995 by Steve Macklam and Sam Feldman, two music industry veterans with deep roots in the Canadian and international music scenes. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and has operated for nearly three decades as an international artist management firm. Sam Feldman's career includes leadership positions at A&F Music Ltd. (with partner Bruce Allen) and Watchdog Management, a full-service artist management firm he founded and remains an advisor to. Over the years he has represented household names such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, James Taylor, Sarah McLachlan, Bette Midler, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, and The Chieftains. In 2019, Feldman sold The Feldman Agency, the pioneering artist representation company he built, to long-time staff, allowing him to dedicate 100% of his time to full-service talent management at Macklam Feldman Management. Stephen Macklam began his career as a promoter in the early 1970s at the University of Guelph, Ontario, which sparked his interest in connecting the international music world to his hometown of Vancouver. He gained experience as a freelance writer and radio journalist for CBC and was a key player in the production of The Vancouver Complication, a compilation album showcasing Vancouver's underground punk/new wave scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He later worked as a local promoter and talent scout for Perryscope Productions, continuing through Concert Promotions International and eventually Universal, dominating the Canadian live events scene. He subsequently formed Homestead Productions, signing international recording artist k.d. lang and Canadian blues icon Colin James. Macklam also served as Music Supervisor for the film 'My Blueberry Nights' starring Norah Jones and as Associate Producer for 'Spectacle: Elvis Costello with...', a television series featuring intimate interviews and performances. Together, Feldman and Macklam built MFM into a premier management company. Today, the roster includes distinguished voices such as The Chieftains, Elvis Costello, Sarah McLachlan, and Diana Krall, as well as artists like Fieh, Ry Cooder, and Melody Gardot. The company's mission is to continue building on 50 years of goodwill and credibility, influencing market opportunities for clients through an integrity-based process. Its team members have worked together for decades, streamlining processes to help artists be their creative best.
