24HR Records is a web series that hand picks a team of musicians, locks them in a studio, and asks them to write and record three complete songs in twenty-four hours. The artists we select have never met until they walk in the door, sharing nothing but a desire to push their creative limits farther than they ever thought possible. Each episode is a collision of talent, stress, and creative freedom without any rules or guidelines save a time constraint. 24HR Records has set out to discover new avenues for artists to collaborate and captures their creative process on record, photograph, and film.As a Creator/Producer, I curated the artists of each filming, oversaw all creative aspects of episodes (music, film, photo), and developed strategic release partnerships with media outlets. To date, 24HR Records has been featured in places such as HypeBot, American Songwriter, Band of the Day App, NoiseTrade, and Best Web Series Award Winner - Nashville Film Festival 2015.
