SPEAKING & CONSULTING

Speaking &
consulting.

Strategy, innovation and the decisions shaping music.

I am a Grammy Award-winning songwriter, a USC Thornton professor, a researcher with a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies focused on business strategy, and a TEDxPrincetonU speaker. I bring that experience to speaking and consulting with artists, educators, and organizations.

I have consulted for technology and music-industry businesses, artists, songwriters, and entrepreneurs. Every conversation begins with your purpose: what your audience needs to understand or the decision your organization needs to make.
