Artist Consulting

Although many talk of doom and gloom in the music business, it is an exciting time with many opportunities.  Like never before, artists can connect directly with fans via social media, on-line communities, intimate house concerts or “experience” dates and anything else we can dream up.  The business is ripe for entrepreneurs and executives willing to invest experience and creativity in the music and artists they love.

I’ve been in the music business for 30 years. I started in radio, moved into artist management, then to a major record label and back to media as a national magazine editor and on to cable television music programming until I started my business in 2002, with the legendary Kris Kristofferson as my first client. All these years I’ve rooted for the artists and the music I love. It is a sometimes challenging but always exhilarating journey.

My specialty is strategy consulting for Americana, folk, roots and alt-country artists who are singers, songwriters and musicians. My consulting services include assisting artists in their development and growth in an ever-changing and evolving music industry.  I have successfully managed artists and projects from conception to Grammy and everywhere in between by coloring outside the lines and reinventing ways to introduce artists to music lovers.
