What is your creative mission?
To provide artist development and elite music industry services and platforms to showcase artists on large platforms. To mentor artists through my experience of being an artist myself the last 20+ years. To inspire and be inspired.
What do you love about what you do?
Being able to discover new talent almost every day, and make new connections and relationships with anyone in the industry that’s willing to better themselves and pursue music for the right reasons.
What have you learned from your successes/ failures?
Always research the situations you encounter in the industry before jumping into it. And always be open minded.
How do you keep pushing ahead after a difficult challenge?
By remaining determined. By not allowing failure to be an option. And by believing that you can get through anything, and to reach out to your support system.
Have you ever encountered resistance from family, friends, or the world in general? How did you overcome those kinds of blocks?
Outside of possessive girlfriends, nobody has ever held me back or discouraged me. My support has always been unconditional, and a blessing.
How has your art and creativity healed you?
By expressing my angers, fears, dreams, happiness. By finding the best way to communicate to the world in a positive way. Hoping that someone out there might be inspired by it or relate to it so it can also help them.
What are your NFA Bullet points? What steps would you recommend for anyone who wants to kick some ass and get their creative dreams off the ground?
Don’t allow failure to be an option. There’s always something to be read, so therefore there’s always something to be learned. Don’t ever downplay yourself. Push your insecurities aside and express yourself the way you want to be understood.

Great interview, right to the point.
Met him at CMJ last year and New Music Seminar’s panel. One of the most down to earth and inspirational people I’ve ever met. This guy knows the industry in and out like nobody’s business. He’s gonna be a major game changer in my opinion.
Inspiring! Great outlook on the industry. Good read 👏🙏
This is amazing. Thanks
