As managing director of Buma Cultuur, Frank Helmink is responsible for events and projects promoting Dutch music in The Netherlands and abroad. His company initiated the Amsterdam Dance Event (the most important and biggest showcase and seminar festival for electronic music) and Eurosonic Noorderslag, the largest European showcase and seminar event for live music. Besides these huge events Buma Cultuur organizes platforms for every genre imaginable. As Frank is a metal fan, it was only a matter of time before Buma ROCKS! was born.
