About Me

I have worked in the Music Business industry for most of my life. Born into a musical family, I began my journey as a Singer and Writer. While developing my artistic abilities, I discovered my passion for the business side of the industry and pursued a career as a Music Publisher and Performing Rights Representative.

Serving in many capacities, I’ve worked with some of the biggest productions and names in business and entertainment. I have sang and shared stages alongside Fantasia, Harry Connick Jr., Toshi Reagon, Fred Hammond, Israel Houghton, Todd Dulaney and Anthony Brown, just to name a few. As a Member of the Music Publishing Affairs team at TRO Essex Music Group, I have managed and represented the musical catalogs of Bernice Johnson Reagon (and Toshi), Bill Evans, LeadBelly, Woody Guthrie, The Who and Pink Floyd. As a Creative Director, I have secured song placements for Warner Bros., HBO, Amazon Studios, Hulu, Netflix and Jay-Z. I’ve processed licenses and agreements for Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Gary Clark Jr., David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull and Blake Shelton. As a Projects Manager, I have spearheaded many program initiatives, including the centennial musical celebration for songwriter Bart Howard, Carnegie Hall’s Lullaby Project and a special collaboration with Live On NY. As the International Administrator for Broadcast Music, Inc., I’ve worked with global societies to ensure the creative works of Songwriters and Composers were properly protected and compensated in foreign territories.

Most recently, I am the Managing Director of Artist Development agency, Creative Alignment Music Group, where I have partnered with the Internal Revenue Service as an Artist Advocate to help educate Creatives on governmental policies and practices.

In addition to working with these amazing people and organizations, I am the Producer and Organizer of several businesses and initiatives. As a Leader and Innovator, it is my desire and honor to share my skills, talents, experiences and expertise to help further grow and cultivate the brands and careers of others.
