Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I pursued music at Berklee College of Music. At 23, I moved to New York City to launch my career. By 27, I secured my first development deal with an executive from Interscope Records, gaining invaluable insights into the path to becoming a successful full-time artist. At 31, I took the entrepreneurial leap, establishing my own production company. This move allowed me to craft chart-topping hits for artists worldwide, solidifying my presence in the industry. At the age of 36, I further expanded my musical endeavors by founding my own publishing company. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Music Business at NYU, deepening my understanding of the industry and honing my expertise.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: If I had the opportunity, I would choose to collaborate with Kendrick Lamar. His artistry continually astounds me; he consistently defies expectations, and develops new narrative styles that trail blaze a new path forward. The precision with which he composes his lyrics and delivers them consistently raises the artistic bar.
