Team

Gernot Müller

Founder & Director

Gernot brings a full decade of experience to the table here at Voltage Circus. In fact, the company is his creation, stemming from the experience he received working for Armada Music and wanting to create his own music marketing agency with a brand new direction.

In the beginning of his career, Gernot was a DJ. He understands the struggle and needs of up-and-coming artists better than anyone, allowing him to imbue his own experience and knowledge into his company’s marketing strategies. Eventually, he spent 6 years working for DanceTelevision (formerly DanceTrippin TV), of which he is now a shareholder. And finally, he made his way to Armada Music (Armin van Buuren) where he was responsible for online marketing.

During these 10 years working in the music industry, he learned everything he could about marketing for musical talent as well as consulting with international DJs. This passion and drive led him to launching Voltage Circus in 2019.

Henrik Koch

Music Marketing Consultant

Henrik has also been involved in the music industry for several years. Throughout his career before Voltage Circus, he spent his time managing small, independent artists as well as hosting events in Cologne. On top of this, he studied music business (a crucial skill for the marketing world).
