From humble beginnings hosting the "Conquers your ears..." radio show in 2002 Annika Weyhrich has been producing, consulting and curating in the music and culture space in Germany and throughout Europe for more than 15 years.
Focused and motivated, but at the same time intuitively creative, Annika’s flair for connecting the dots/ thinking outside the box is showcased through the diverse roles and activities she pursues.

She then spent two years at SSC Group representing talent including Azari & III, Juan MacLean, Shit Robot and Vitalic.
In 2011, she moved on to found Fling, her own creative agency focused around Public Relations, Marketing Strategy, Event Production and Artist Bookings.
