## Career

At school, Craig Logan was a member of a school band called "Stillbrook". When Matt and Luke left their band called "Blue", they asked Craig whether he would join them as a bassist to form a band of their own. Craig agreed, and the trio started playing music together, thus to laying the foundation of Bros.

In the band, however, the attention always was focussed on the twins, leaving Craig in the background. He later said: "it was like the two blond ones and the other one, and I was the other one." The british pop magazine Smash Hits even once referred to them as "Matt, Luke and Ken" because no one knew or fancied Craig.

Late in 1988, Craig hat to go to hospital after their tour, burnt out due to the stress they experienced during the tour. He therefore left the band January 1989. His differences with the band management resulted in six legal actions which he won all. The experience gained by studying the contracts with the lawyers helped him to better understand music business and gave him an interest in the business side of the music.

After leaving the band, Craig first attended the Royal College of Music and took piano classes. He started songwriting and producing. He also managed Kim Appleby and was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award as a co-writer of her hit single "Don’t Worry".

At the age of 25, Logan became vice-president of International at EMI Music where he worked, among others, with Robbie Williams, Tina Turner and Garth Brooks. In 1999, Logan left EMI and started to work with the artist manager Roger Davies with whom he went on to oversee worldwide tours and worked on releases for acts such as Tina Turner, Sade, Joe Cocker and M People. He co-managed Pink with Davies for several years.

In 2006, Logan became the Managing Director of the RCA Label Groupj at SonyBMG UK (now Sony Music). He left the company in 2010 and started Logan Media Entertainment (LME) as an international artist management company. LME now have offices in London and Los Angeles. The managed artists unclude Anastacia, Dido, Cher Lloyd, Aston Merrygold, Andreya Triana, Kyle and Devin and My Crazy Girlfriend.
