A Passion Rooted in Music
One of Ana Maria’s main passions in life has been live concerts and music and sports events. She was raised with a strong respect for the arts, music, and dancing because her family highly prized these mediums. Her lifetime interest has led her to naturally want to close the gap between artists and create a worldwide network of gifted people. She wants to use AMG Management to support artists in realising their full potential and to unite various skills to produce events that will be remembered forever. Gilliam accomplishes this with help from her seasoned producer, Juan Pablo Giraldo.
