Adapt your brand and overcome your problems

As an artist, your brand is everything. I’m here to guide you in the right direction.

Why is music consulting important?

Consulting is a fundamental aspect of every industry. Sometimes problems can only be identified and solved by an outside opinion. These problems can be with one’s brand identity to sonic discrepancies in the music that are ultimately holding an artist back from their true potential. Having a third party weigh into the problems can help lead to solutions.

opinions are subjective

Let’s face it. Everyone's a critic and sometimes it may seem easier to ignore those opinions and just stick to your gut.

This is only half true.

There are many decisions in an artist’s career that can lead to unforeseen consequences that will hurt them in the long run. There is always some truth in another’s opinion.

Let’s make problem solving easy.

As an artist, you should be taking the necessary steps to grow your career.

That’s where I come in.

  • I’ve been working in the music industry for over 14 years, from producing and marketing my own music to educating my friends and collaborators on how the music industry works.

  • I have a degree in Music Industry and Music Production from the University of Southern California (Fight On!).

  • I have launched numerous artist projects as well as revamped other artist’s brands and sonic characteristics.
