My name is Max Topelson and I am from Denver, Colorado. I am a Tulane University A.B. Freeman School of Business graduate with a degree in Finance. Having played piano since I was three years old, I am extremely passionate about music and want to pursue a career in the music/entertainment industry. I love playing piano and producing music myself; however, I want to help other musicians succeed in their own careers from a business perspective. I believe that I am who I am today because of my experiences playing music. I learned to be dedicated and resourceful from hours practicing piano and self-teaching myself how to produce songs. I have also played in several jazz combos, which has taught me to how to collaborate with others and to be accountable for always knowing my part. Lastly, music has taught me to express myself. Whether it's the freedom I feel while playing jazz or the creativity I feel from writing and producing a song, I am always able to express myself through music which has opened me up to express myself in both personal and professional relationships.I am majoring in Finance because I have always been interested in investing and love reading books on the field. I also feel that by majoring in Finance, I will be able to combine expertise in business with my passion for music in order to pursue a career in the music industry.
