Paperwork Media LLC, formed by Jill Katona in 2005, is Chicago's newest addition to the world of music management. Katona got her start in New York City scouting for the A&R department of Elektra Records during the heyday of Metallica, Missy Elliot and Jason Mraz. After attending her 478,924,234th show, she decided to up her knowledge of the biz and headed to Los Angeles to study entertainment law. Three years of toiling away in law school led her to understand, finally, why all the bands that she ever worked with were constantly befuddled by mountains of paperwork. Wanting to make life easier for her favorite artists, she decided to sidestep the traditional law firm route and bring her talents to where they were most needed: the musicians.

Paperwork Media LLC is a one-stop music boutique that offers management, publicity, A&R consulting, promotions, booking, label shopping, licensing, and a slew of other artist services to bands, artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, venues and other music junkies. Katona thrives on being an advisor- organizer- strategist- psychologist- sounding board- consultant- therapist- partner- sidekick- honcho- manager- friend to her clients, and she is happy to take on even more identities. Whatever it takes to make it happen
