A married music rep who has worked with big names including Justin Bieber, Drake and Post Malone told DailyMail.com exclusively that he had nothing to do with the death of a 34-year-old woman found dead in his Miami hotel room, and that she was an aspiring musician who he was trying to help.

Hotel surveillance shows Bolno leaving alone just after 4.30am that morning.
Nine hours later, hotel security went to the room after phoning Bolno and telling him the woman in the suite had not checked out.

Laura Lozano was discovered by hotel staff March 30, lying face up, unresponsive in a bathtub in his room at The Setai hotel
Bolno told DailyMail.com exclusively last night that the loss of the 34-year-old is a 'terrible tragedy', that he 'really liked her' and that he'd been 'helping her make music' before she died.
And despite a police report naming Bolno as a 'person of interest', the 46-year-old adamantly claims: 'I wasn't there when she died.'
'It was a terrible tragedy. I had vacated the room in the earlier part of the morning so I wasn't there when they found her. It was really sad, she was someone I really liked, and she was a good person.'
Bolno who is a partner at NKSFB, the largest business management firm in the country working alongside artists in music, film, and television, said he'd hoped to sign Lozano - a budding musician.
'She'd been there because she was recording music the night before. She's a client and she was going to sign a record deal with me I helped her make music,' he said.
'I really don't want to go too deeply into it honestly it was a terrible tragedy.'
When asked why the 34-year-old had been in his room at such odd hours during the night Bolno said: 'I let her stay there, there's not much more to it' and when asked where he was, he repeated, 'she was found when I'd left.'
'From what I was told she was found much later in the day,' he said.
Lozano had allegedly been 'recording music' with Bolno the night she stayed in the luxury suite. DailyMail.com has contacted NKSFB for comment.
Bolno, who lives in Los Angeles, left the hotel at 4.30am on the morning of March 30, according to a police report obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
At around 1pm, hotel staff tried calling the room - room #2805 - to tell the guests to check out.
When there was no answer, the front desk contacted Bolno who told them he had already left, but that they needed to remove the woman from the suite.
Hotel security then visited the room and found Lozano inside. Fire and EMS were called at 1.22pm.
Police said when they initially entered the room they noticed an 'unknown substance in various areas inside the property.'
Little is known about Lozano, except that she was 34 and was a US permanent resident.
When contacted by DailyMail.com, Bolno's wife, Stacy Pineles, declined to comment.
