In Their Own Words

"I want people to understand the power of systems and incentives, as well as feel both the confidence and ability to handle whatever comes their way in the future."

"A good thing about music business is that it gives somebody a wonderful fallback; while they're working on getting their footing in the music industry, they will get a decent job. That's important."
