Artist Management
For over a decade I have been working closely with boundary pushing artists big and small. Artist Management was a natural progression of the work I did as a music journalist, a publicist, and an A&R — telling artist stories, creating resources, building audience, and pushing art forward.
Cleo Reed
For five years I’ve worked closely with Cleo Reed to develop a creative strategy, brand identity, and business structure. I’ve managed the production and release of two full-length albums including an exclusive vinyl release with Vinyl Me, Please. I have co-produced the performance art piece Black American Circus at the Brooklyn Museum and Afropunk. I produced a two month long gallery exhibition and event series in collaboration with Recess Arts. I’ve crafted digital marketing strategies and managed a team of creatives, booking agents, publicists, and more. An independent artist manager truly does it all.
Black Grapefruit
During my time managing the genre-defying duo Black Grapefruit we were featured in New York Times, NPR, Okayplayer, Afropunk, and more. I developed creative and marketing strategies, produced visual content, and managed communications.
