Today, we learned of the tragic passing of Leticia van Riel. The French-Brazilian manager died following a fatal car accident in Ibiza.

A Legacy of Mentorship and Passion

According to DJ Mag, van Riel shaped our scene for two decades. The French-Brazilian powerhouse began her professional journey in London. She booked acts at MN2S Agency before moving to Spain. She founded LvR Management in 2018. She built massive careers with pure dedication. She championed major artists like Sama’ Abdulhadi, Miss Monique, ANNA, and Wehbba.

She fostered new talent far beyond booking shows. Her LvR Mentoring program opened vital industry doors. She shared knowledge and built confidence daily. People felt her warm energy everywhere across the White Isle. According to IMS, co-founder Ben Turner praised her spirit.

Leticia was one of the most positive and effective people I’ve ever had the privilege to work with in this industry.

The sudden loss hits our community incredibly hard. Sama’ Abdulhadi canceled her Beyond The Pale performance. She took necessary time to grieve with loved ones.

She wasn’t just my manager she was my friend, my support and my family.

ANNA echoed this deep sentiment online. She credited van Riel for her global success. Leticia made everyone feel truly valued.

The Ibiza community lost a passionate champion today. We must carry her fierce dedication forward to uplift the next generation.
