Jonathan Dickins is the manager of Adele and the founder of September Management. Dickins became Adele's official representative in June of 2006 when she signed to XL Records. His sister is Lucy Dickins, Adele's agent.
Family
Besides his sister being Adele's agent, Dickins has several other family members who have worked in the music business. His grandfather was Percy Dickins, the man responsible for co-founding British music magazine NME and inventing the pop charts in 1952. Jonathan's uncle was the chairman for Warner Brothers in the UK for fifteen years as well. Dickins has also stated that his father is a booking agent who looks after Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Neil Young, and Jamiroquai. His uncle, Rob Dickins, also had a label called Instant Karma.
Meeting with Adele
Dickins is on the far right.
The man who introduced Dickins to Adele originally was also the man responsible for signing her to XL Records, Nick Huggett, who is currently Head of A&R at Columbia Records in the UK. Huggett had told Dickins that he should "check this girl out", and upon their first meeting, they instantly got on great. Adele had actually been a huge fan of another artist Dickins was working with, Jamie T. Dickins and Adele began working together in June of 2006, and she was signed to XL Records not long after (September of the same year). Dickins actually hooked Adele up with Franis "Eg" White for her smash single, "Chasing Pavements". Dickins was also responsible for convincing Adele to put a cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" on her debut album, 19. Dickins had loved the song for years and, upon playing it, caused Adele to fall in love with it, too.
In 2012, Adele presented Dickins with the Manager of the Year award at the Music Week Awards. She said that he was the only manager that she had met after XL Recordings signed her, and she decided she wanted him to work with her before he even decided he wanted to work with her. She further added that one of his best qualities was that he made her laugh.
Other work
Jonathan Dickins has worked with various other artists in his musical career, including Jack Peñate, Tom Vek, and Jamie T, although Dickins has stated that Adele's voice may be one of the best if not the best voice he has ever heard. He is also responsible for founding September Management in March 2006, in addition to various other music projects around the music world.
