Summary
I am a passionate and business-minded music industry professional with a strong foundation in both the creative and commercial sides of music. I graduated with First Class Honours in Music Production and Sound Engineering from Point Blank Music School, equipping me with a deep technical understanding of music and the ability to relate to artists as a musician myself. Currently working as a Copyright Analyst at AMRA, I manage global catalogue ingestion, supporting efficient royalty distribution and maximising value for songwriters and publishers. Alongside my publishing experience, I’ve independently grown a TikTok account to over 50,000 followers, using it to successfully promote a music project and build direct-to-fan engagement. With a genuine love for discovering new talent and a long-term ambition to work in A&R and artist development, I bring a proactive, detail-oriented, and creatively attuned approach to every project I take on.
