I’ve worked throughout the music industry as a moderator, booking agent, tour manager, brand ambassador, and promoter.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, my days were centered around booking tours in Europe and doing marketing events for companies. Today it's primarily remote work, often for video shoots or selling solar power throughout Central Texas. I also interview people for my podcast and release a monthly new music program on my podcast platform. I'm working on a writing project on the side and always looking for new opportunities.
Here's the first step for everyone
You can't really learn how to be a hustler in school. Same goes for most of the music business. You just have to do it, which is mostly what I did. I hit the road, did independent tours, booked shows, and figured everything out as I went along. That being said, I never expected a pandemic to shut down our borders and venues. Through that, I've learned that it's helpful to have at least a bachelor's degree when job hunting. I also recommend a strong and genuine focus for success.
