As a working performing artist with professional connections and experience in the fields of piano, opera, musical theatre, theatre, film, commercial work, modeling, voice over, singer/songwriter/producer/independent music artist, dance, and stage combat, I have the knowledge to help guide young artists seeking a professional career whether they are just starting out as a young child or whether they have an advanced degree! From choosing the best city to make your home base to finding the right agent or manager (What's the difference between an agent or manager? Are they different? What are their jobs? How can they help me? How do I pay them? When should I get them?) to choosing the right schools and degree programs, I can help you make smart choices for yourself and appear professional and confident in any situation you might find yourself in! (Related to the business side of being an artist anyway) If you need answers to questions that I don't have the answer for, I also have a large contact list of mentors, friends, and colleagues to pull from with music attorneys, professional working artists, casting directors, other coaches, directors, conductors, producers, and more!

I have had 10+ years experience in music business. No degree but I have enjoyed living out my experience and I am always learning new things as the music industry changes. I would love to help anyone get their feet off the ground with any advice and/or direction on how to further your journey as an artist.
