Georgie Galante
Georgeann (Georgie) Galante was born
in Brooklyn, New York and spent some of her teen years in Queens. Exposure
to music and the arts were part of growing up in an Italian family. She
attended dance school for nine years, studying modern ballet and tap.
After graduation she moved to Puerto Rico where she co-owned
an import record store. Then a move to Southern California in the early
seventies sparked the beginning of a 24 year career in the music business.
Her resume includes working at National Tape and Record (distributor),
office manager of Pzazz Records, and RCA Records where she worked in radio
promotion, and was their industry trade liaison. This also included work in
artist relations with recording artists such as Hall & Oates, David Bowie,
Iggy Pop, The Kinks, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Ronnie Milsap to name a
few. The music business brought her to Nashville, Tennessee in 1978. She
continued her work in promotion and with Dolly, Waylon and Milsap. She also
worked closely with Alabama, The Judds, Vince Gill, and Steve Wariner. After
working independent marketing for RCA Records, Conway Twitty and some
independent labels, Georgie began managing Earl Thomas Conley (1982-1985) the Bellamy Brothers (1984-1987) and Anthony Crawford (1984-1988). She also managed Keith Christopher
(1985) and Joy White (1988-1989).
Georgie met her husband and
moved to Michigan in 1989. While managing his podiatry practice, she also started a music
publishing company for a small independent promotion company in Ann Arbor.
Away from the business of music and medicine, Georgie is now
concentrating in the arts. She holds a photography degree and has been
certified in metal clay and polymer clay. At the present time she is
pursuing a BA in art history. The rest of her time is spent with her animals
and her hobbies (knitting, crocheting, and reading) and, of course, teaching
and studying her crafts.
