For more than 20 years, Mariann has been a driving force behind the global electronic music industry—managing artists, building tours, coordinating large-scale productions, and helping shape the careers of internationally recognized talent across edm, trance, progressive, melodic, and underground electronic music.

A true female powerhouse within the EDM space, Mariann has built a reputation for precision, leadership, and the ability to execute at the highest level under pressure. As a certified event manager specializing in artist and tour management, she has become widely known throughout the industry for doing what many consider impossible—delivering seamless global operations while helping artists grow both creatively and professionally.

Mariann’s career began alongside legendary trance icon Paul van Dyk, an experience that helped lay the foundation for what would become an extensive international career spanning artist and booking management, touring, events, label relations, and live production.

Despite her extensive résumé, Mariann remains focused on the future—continuing to evolve alongside an industry that is constantly changing.

With decades of experience, a respected international network, and a reputation built on trust and execution, Mariann Krott continues to prove why she remains one of electronic music’s most valuable behind-the-scenes leaders.
