The newly established Bandier Program allows me tofocus on the music industry holistically, deepening my insight into multiple sectors. My areas of interest focus on the roleof the music industry in 21 st century media, music publishing, copyright, and on the intersection of new media with moretraditional applications. My ability to research provides multiple perspectives on complex issues, allowing me to grasptopics, which have proven to be nebulous at first. My minor in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communicationsallows me to explore the role of both traditional and non-traditional mass media in today’s global society, serving as adirect complement to the Bandier Program. Currently, I hold a 3.883 cumulative GPA, and have been on the Dean’s Listeach semester since my matriculation at Syracuse University.My career in the music industry has been shaped and defined by the diverse experiences I have enjoyed workingin both a musical and business capacity. I helped to develop a groundbreaking rock orchestra, 'Eclectic Electric', haveperformed at Carnegie Hall, premiered my original composition at Lincoln Center, and sat principal bass for an orchestralEuropean tour. Most recently, I have helped launch Loud and Clear, a student music production which broadcasts on theOrange Television Network, where I am now the Executive Producer. As Executive Producer, I currently manage an overfifty-member team spanning several departments, and have successfully expanded the production to include musical talentsuch as the five-time Grammy Award-winning Kronos Quartet.My previous internships in the New York Metropolitan Area at CAK Music Publishing, Chesky Records,Manhattan Production Music, HD Tracks, and Cove City Sound Studios have proven to be invaluable, re-affirming mylove and passion for the music industry.My interests in both sectors of the industry allow me to assume traditional business roles, while selectivelyengaging in artistic endeavors. As a classically-trained bassist with a vast knowledge of classical, jazz, pop, and worldgenres, I am able to compose authentic, fresh and innovative scores for multiple applications. As a performing artist, I alsounderstand the creative, logistical, and managerial needs of musicians; this enables me to extend the same efforts I putinto my own musical career to others'.I view music creatively and technically; these vantage points help me to understand the unique needs of clientsand artists. I am a firm believer in “music as a process,” and continue to study and learn every step of the creative process.From creative inspiration, composition, production, and business, I bring my knowledge of the music industry, musicalbackground, curiosity, and unrelenting desire for perfection and passion to every project I work on.My intense attention to detail, creative vision, passion, and can-do attitude will build confidence in yourorganization and brand, supporting you in what you do best: music.Thank you for your time and consideration; I look forward to meeting with you soon.
