Paul Piticco is the founder of Secret Service Artist Management, a musician management company and live music organiser, as well as the director of Dew Process, an independent record label.[1] Both organisations are based in Piticco's home town of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Secret Service Artist Management, and Piticco, manage numerous Australian musicians including Bernard Fanning, The Grates, Drag, Powderfinger, and The Predators.[2] They also distribute the music of international artists through Australia and New Zealand.[1]

The Secret Service, along with Byron Bay's Village Sounds, are responsible for the management of Splendour in the Grass, a live music festival held annually in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia, since 2001.[3][4] Secret Sounds has also brought several international musicians to Australia for concerts, including Coldplay, Brian Wilson, and Sonic Youth.[1]

In 2007, Piticco co-promoted the Across the Great Divide Tour, a tour headlined by popular Australian bands Powderfinger and Silverchair promoting reconciliation in Australia. The tour is carbon neutral, and aims to reduce the 17 year gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-indegenous Australians.[1]
