Non-Commercial Radio Music Promoter
Major Accomplishment: Promoted a record to the #1 position at college & non-commerical radio stations NACC charts nation-wide, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - 'Soul of a Woman' released by Daptone Records, 2017.
My active role in advocacy for independent artists and labels started formally back in my freshman year of college when I got a slot in the university's radio station. Later I became the Music Director of the radio station, picking out new releases for my fellow DJs to discover, love, support and spin.
A few months after I graduated, I accepted a job offer as a college/non-commerical radio music promoter in the Pacific Northwest. I started out the new year, 2015, on a one-way flight to a city I never visited to begin a career in a field I always knew I wanted to be a part of. And I have zero regrets. Past employers would describe me as driven, hard-working and have killer taste in music - No objections here.
During my time as a promoter, I served as a liaison between radio broadcasters and record labels/artists. I promoted new records to college and non-commercial radio stations across the US and Canada through airplay, coordinating in-studios for artists on tour and help bands reach chart status through CMJ and NACC. At Distiller Promo, I promoted a huge variety of genres including college alt-rock, RPM (electronica), and even World music!
This experience has definitely opened up my music taste and ability to detect talent in different musical styles. I also performed general administrative tasks such as managing and updating our website, collecting and analyzing data, helped in assembling campaign assets into digital packages for programmers and creating templates of one-sheets for information behind the album and the artist. I am skilled in a variety of programs including Filemaker, Excel, Google Suite and fluent in Social Media platforms.
Major Accomplishment: Spearheaded digital marketing and social media campaign for 2019's Spring Fundraiser, resulting in a grand total of $13,200 in received donations.
