“I’d like A Giant Leap to be recognised as having some kind of ethos and taste in this age when music seems too often to be just part of an unstoppable streaming of useless and soon-to-be-forgotten informations. Our aim is to be the untrendy setters."

I'm Monica Melissano, and I run A Giant Leap, which is EU booking agency, but also PR and management for very selected acts. I've been active in the music business from late 90′s, first as journalist, writer and radio speaker and programmer, then as owner of Suiteside (label and booking) from 2001 to 2010.
In more then 10 years I've booked Italian and European tours for the likes of Xiu Xiu, Casiotone for The Painfully Alone, Azure Ray, Patrick Wolf, Swearing At Motorists, The Telescopes, Mono and many other international acts.
Early 2010 I started working in London, travelling quite often between Italy (Genoa) and the city.

Early 2011 I started to work with Popular Company for booking duties on selected bands and tours from the roster.
