I am an accomplished music business executive with significant experience working directly with talent, having worn many hats in integral roles across the music paradigm including talent management, where I identified and guided the careers of many successful music artists (The Fugees, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Joan Osborne, Spacehog, Nine Days, & Vanessa Carlton), music licensing roles as both a buyer and a seller with a focus on gaming and livestreaming, discovering and signing talent at Epic Records as VP of A&R, and both booking (Blues Traveler for Bill Graham) and buying talent roles in the live event space. I honed my talent buying skills at Six Flags Entertainment, where I spearheaded the talent buying for all of its parks in North America.I've got deep experience marketing talent and producing and publishing online content while utilizing brand partnerships, licensing music, social media, and live event activation. From discovering and managing music talent to producing original online video content to forging strategic partnerships between talent, brands, rightsholders, and new media platforms, I’ve spent my entire career working directly with talent and rightsholders while creating and marketing entertaining content.I currently work with Mayflower Entertainment, an entertainment marketing company which consults with various global brands and agencies on music licensing/supervision and talent procurement including athletes, actors, musicians, and influencers. With my experience in licensing and music partnerships, I’ve helped broker deals with some of the most notable global artists and brands. My main focus is working with gaming icon Epic Games (Fortnite, Rocket League) on its talent partnerships and music clearances for various initiatives covering in-game live events, creating metaverse content, in-game radio, and all on-sale items involving music. I also focus on talent buying for various clients’ private events.I have my own management firm that was originally conceived to provide talent management services and has since expanded to providing consulting services and guidance to talent, brands, rightsholders, and/or digital platforms on their music licensing needs as well as on their content marketing strategies.I’m very passionate about discovering new talent and/or content in all forms of entertainment especially music, comedy, or film.
