Why I Started Music Matters

Ready to work together?
Let’s turn your vision into a reality. Whether you’re just starting or looking to scale, I’m here to help.

I started Music Matters Consulting to bridge the gap between creativity and the business of music. Too often, creatives and organizations don’t have the tools or support they need to protect their work, navigate challenges, and grow in a sustainable way. By blending my expertise in the business side of music with a collaborative approach that fosters creativity, I help clients bring their vision to life and build something lasting
