Who is Amos?

Amos Pizzey is the creative director and founder of Talenthouse Inc.

Born in West London, his mother Erin Pizzey was the founder of the women's refuge movement. He began his career in music at age 13, and was recognized for his vocal talent by Boy George. At the age of 14, Pizzey joined George’s band, Culture Club, and two years later signed his first international contract with Richard Branson at Virgin Records.

Over the next two decades, Pizzey signed with various record labels, and was also producing and remixing Madonna, George Michael, Boy George and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was during this time that he forged a close relationship with Jeremy Healy. The two had a series of hit records and created the multi-platform entertainment concept known as "Bleachin'", which tells the story of inner city club culture through film, fashion, art, music and photography.

Pizzey and Healy went on to sign the project with BMG Records, and were photographed by Annie Leibovitz for the American Vogue with John Galliano at his request. In 2000, Pizzey was also a founding partner of London’s Met Bar, which became a global center for outstanding artists.

In 2005, Pizzey was then approached by the CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi UK to serve as the founder and creative director of GUM connecting the youth market with global brands. During his two-year tenure there, Pizzey worked with corporations like Procter & Gamble and Atlantic Records, and was responsible for developing multi-platform brand campaigns as well as brokering entertainment and advertising deals.
