Profile
I have a long history in music production, promotion and consumption that has put me in one of the most unique careers in digital music. 10 years ago I started as an intern and worked my way into a position of passion. At nearly every turn of my career, I have been driven to help shape the way new music is discovered and consumed. I am committed to my work and confident that I can be a productive leader in any music team.
