Artist Outreach Manager / 2020-2021
at SESSIONS - SAN FRANCISCO, CA
From the stage to the sales floor.
For years, I was on the road—eight months a year, full-time touring and recording. Then, in March 2020, mid-tour, the pandemic shut everything down. The momentum stopped overnight. No shows, no flights, no live music. I had to pivot.
I landed at SESSIONS, a livestreaming concert platform founded by Tim Westergren (Pandora). It was a young company, still defining itself, and I saw an opportunity—not just to sell, but to build something artists actually wanted to be part of.
I secured partnerships with Andrew Bird, José James, La Luz, Fat Tony, and more—selling 6,000+ tickets, driving 29 million impressions, and closing 31.5% of the company’s entire Q1 sales goal. More than just numbers, these deals helped social-proof the brand, bringing in artists that made others take notice.
It wasn’t just about selling livestreams—it was about creating moments, translating the energy of live performance into a digital space, and proving that even in a locked-down world, music could still move people.
