Last but not least, the Naim Label recruited a new Label Manager, Simon Drake, as Anna Tooth left Naim in October to explore new challenges.

“Music has always been my greatest passion.” said Simon “I am determined to build on the enormous contribution of my predecessor, Anna Tooth. I endeavour to continue flying the flag for raw talent, while expanding the label's repertoire, working with a range of new artists and broadening the horizons, without compromising Naim’s drive for artistic integrity.”

The Naim Label wishes you the continued enjoyment of our products and the best of health in 2007.
