Born and raised in Bangladesh, I was on track to become a doctor when an internship showed me how much I loved finding the human stories behind data. That discovery led me to pursue a master’s in Business Analytics at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business—and eventually into the music industry. Today, I’m Senior Director of Audience Development at Blue Highway Records, where I help artists and teams understand their audiences, shape digital strategy, and build lasting fan connections. Before joining Blue Highway, I worked in A&R research and analytics at BMG, bringing together data, creative instinct, and a genuine curiosity about why people connect with music. I’m especially passionate about turning audience insights into ideas artists can actually use, whether that means spotting emerging talent, understanding what resonates with fans, or finding new ways to grow a community around a song. I want to take the skills I have learned and apply them as an analyst in the entertainment/music industry.
