Here's how I can help

I specialize in helping artists develop their sound, strategy, and career trajectory by providing tailored, actionable feedback. Specific areas I can support with include: • Song & Project Feedback – Honest, detailed critique on records, sequencing, flow, lyrics, production, and overall commercial viability. • Artist Development – Guidance on branding, image, and building a strong creative identity that connects with fans. • Release Strategy – Advice on timing, rollouts, singles vs. projects, and building momentum across platforms. • Industry Navigation – Insights on deal structures, publishing, collaborations, and how to position yourself for label/distribution opportunities. • Marketing & Growth – Direction on content strategy, audience building, and using digital platforms (TikTok, IG, YouTube, DSPs) effectively. • Networking & Collaboration – Suggestions on producers, writers, and creative partners that could elevate your sound and visibility.

Bio

I bring a unique mix of industry experience, creative instinct, and hands-on artist development. For over seven years, I’ve worked as an A&R at a major label, helping both rising talent and established acts shape their music, brand, and careers. What sets me apart is my ability to see both the artistic vision and the business strategy—bridging creativity with market awareness. Specialties: • Spotting and developing young, breakout talent early in their journey. • Giving actionable, real-time feedback that helps turn good songs into career-moving records. • Guiding artists on branding, image, and storytelling to create a clear identity. • Structuring release rollouts and strategies that maximize visibility and fan engagement. • Navigating deal structures, publishing, and collaborations with transparency and artist-first focus. • Leveraging a strong network of producers, creatives, and digital partners to help artists grow. Artists work with me because I’m not just listening for what’s good—I’m listening for what can cut through, connect with fans, and elevate careers.
