I've been immersed in music and the recording industry since the mid-90s. Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, my mother founded Ram Records with the slogan "Breaking Down Barriers." During this vibrant time, Freaknik was still a thing and the Olympics were in town. Simultaneously, Aaliyah’s "One in a Million" was released and the basement of our home was an active creative hub, filled with the heaviness of a sultry, unexploited instrumental, a female R&B singing group and a songwriter named Rico, penning lyrics on a yellow notepad.As an A&R Manager with extensive experience, I have built on this early exposure to the processes that generate assets in the recording industry. I have a proven track record of identifying and developing talented artists, negotiating successful deals, and executing strategic marketing plans. My career in the music industry has been marked by millions of streams, high-profile DSP playlist placements, effective marketing plans and successful project management from initiation to completion.This early love for music has driven my commitment to excellence and innovation in every project I undertake. From identifying, developing and merging talents, negotiating complex agreements to overseeing the production and release of high-quality music, my goal has always been to elevate artists and connect with audiences worldwide.
