Welcome to

The Rebirth Collective

Where music, connection, creativity, and transformation come together.

More than music. More than events.

The Rebirth Collective was created as a space for meaningful experiences. A place where music, wellbeing, creativity and human connection can exist together.

Born through challenge, resilience, and reinvention, we believe in the power of shared moments to inspire transformation.

Whether through live performance, intimate gatherings, soulful conversation, or future wellness experiences, our aim is simple:

To create spaces that resonate long after the moment ends.

Our Story

The Rebirth Collective was created from a shared belief that music still has the power to heal, connect, inspire, and transform.

Founded by Simon Manni and Viv Ayas, the collective emerged through years of experience in live music, artist development, touring, and independent creative work. Like many journeys built from passion, it has also been shaped by challenge, resilience, reinvention, and the determination to begin again.

What started as a love for soulful music and meaningful human connection has evolved into something far bigger than artist management or live events alone. The Rebirth Collective exists as a space where music, creativity, wellbeing, conversation, and community can come together authentically.

Our previous work experience, in various forms, includes artists Jarrod Lawson, Lindsey Webster, Matt Cappy and Snarky Puppy.

We are passionate about supporting artists with depth, honesty, and soul. Artists whose work resonates emotionally and creates genuine connection with audiences.

Alongside music, our vision continues to grow toward immersive experiences that bring people together through atmosphere, storytelling, wellness, creativity, and shared moments that leave a lasting impact.

At its heart, The Rebirth Collective is about exactly what the name represents:

Rebirth.
New beginnings.
Human connection.
And the belief that meaningful experiences still matter deeply.
