I am an award-winning singer and songwriter with multiple commercial releases, music for film/TV, and my own label and publishing company. I have experience in singing, songwriting, recording, music & video production, live shows, music royalty administration, contracts, copyrights, publishing/placement agreements, music libraries, metadata, song descriptions, radio/video campaigns, promotion, and distribution. I have created promotional materials for myself and other artists including press releases, ads, online content including CMS websites, CD/DVD packaging, and music videos. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with writers, photographers, graphic artists, musicians, stylists, actors, and other artists. I also have experience with subtitles and voice over. I am a voting member of the NARAS/GRAMMYS, a writer/publisher member of ASCAP, as well as a member of AIMP, NARIP, and I’m on the steering committee of SONA, which was instrumental in getting the Music Modernization Act through Congress.
