Leticia van Riel has died. The techno world mourns the manager who built careers from ANNA to Miss Monique.
The Woman Behind the Sound
Leticia van Riel, artist manager, founder of LvR Management, guided the Brazilian DJ ANNA to international headliner status, and helped build the careers of Victor Ruiz, Bart Skils, Wehbba and VE/RA. She collaborated with Richie Hawtin, Mark Knight, UMEK, and most recently managed Sama Abdulhadi and Miss Monique.
A Legacy of Lifting Others
With the LvR Mentoring Program for Artists, she guided many up-and-coming DJs and producers. Leticia van Riel rarely stood on stage herself. But she made sure others could shine on it. That influence endures.
