Debbie Peters
Ably equipped with a degree in music and her talents as a musician, MOM founder Debbie Peters launched a successful teaching career out of her own music studio. Ongoing training in management and marketing, and an increased involvement in the Canadian music industry caused a shift of focus towards artist management. For the past nine years, Debbie has operated Magnum Opus Management, guiding artists through every aspect of their career development, from the creation of a unified vision for both performance and recording through to the nitty gritty of making that vision a reality. With thirty years experience working in the arts as a performer, presenter, administrator and manager, Debbie has gained an understanding of how a visiting artist can enhance a community through public performance and outreach opportunities.
