Summary
Proactive and dedicated music industry professional with 5 years experience in Music Publishing A&R, A&R coordination, artist development, and music composition. I have particular experience within the pop genre, successfully leading the creative team for Belgium's Eurovision Song Contest 2024 entry, overseeing song development and production, which resulted in a Platinum-certified track. Other notable achievements include co-creating Belgium's first international songwriting camp which has since become an annual event. I pride myself on contributing my skills in music composition and fostering impactful creative collaboration to support artists to execute their creative vision, drive impactful projects, and guide their creative careers. I am passionate about driving innovation in the music industry while advocating for fair payment structures for songwriters and composers, and committed to championing the live music scene by attending concerts—especially to support emerging artists.
