    BOOKING AGENT / 2018-Present
    currently at ANNIVERSARY GROUP - NEW YORK, NY



    Making shows happen.


    Live music is ephemeral—here, then gone. A moment you can’t replay. My job is to bring those moments into existence. Before I became an agent, I spent 12 years touring, booking my own shows, and negotiating contracts across 14 countries. I know the road. I know the grind. And I approach every deal with an artist-first mentality—because I’ve lived it.


    When you buy a ticket to a show, there’s an invisible architecture behind it. The agent is the one who books the date, negotiates the fee, sets the ticket price, and ensures the show is marketed, sold, and executed properly. When the stage lights go up, the agent’s work is already done. When they go down, the agent settles the show and makes sure the artist gets paid.


    A show doesn’t just happen. Someone makes it happen. Every tour is a moving piece of art, every show a singular moment. //
