Music is in my blood. I started out playing fiddle at age 8 in my family band (The Olson Family Fiddlers- 10 members and plenty of cowboy shirt fringe), started drums at age 10, and have been playing drums professionally since I was 16. My early experiences with music taught me that music should be used to lift people up and bring joy into their life. I'm passionate about building music products that move people and working with teams that want to do good in the world. I spent my early years as a touring musician, was signed to Capitol Records, and have recorded on hundreds of albums for clients like Disney, Pixar, and Epic Games. I have been an indie label manager for Shadow Mountain Records for many years, working with top Billboard charting artists as executive producer and music product director. I oversee the branding and market positioning of our artists and have successfully boosted sales and audience reach year over year. I also have expertise in music libraries and music sync, working with creative agencies to place music that has resulted in multi-million dollar company launches.
