I am the Founder/CEO of Underground Music Collective (UMC), a Nashville-based educational and multimedia platform serving the music industry and independent creatives, everywhere. For more than a decade, UMC has impacted thousands of musicians, creatives, and industry stakeholders through multimedia content, live music experiences, and the UMC Academy artist mentorship program. Through UMC, I have traveled across North America as a speaker, focusing creatives on ways to define their authentic brands, empowering them to attract the audience, build the relationships, and find the opportunities that will take their careers -- and lives -- to the next level.
