Celebrating 1 Year In Colombia, 4 Years With The MLC, And Announcing Music Biz 2024 Panel

May 1 🎉

Today marks the one year anniversary since I officially moved to Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴(May 1, 2023) and 4 years since I joined The Mechanical Licensing Collective 🎼 as its Head of Third-Party Partnerships (May 1, 2020).

I am proud of having built a small sense of community here in Medellin with care and intention while simultaneously expanding the impact of my work in the global music industry, particularly by spearheading grassroots outreach initiatives in Latin America and by developing The MLC’s Distributor Unmatched Recordings Portal aka The DURP (www.themlc.com/durp). The DURP has had a direct positive impact on the livelihoods of hundreds of independent artists around the world 🌎 by empowering independent music distributors with data transparency and insights into the music publishing sector.

As a result of this work, I am proud to be named a finalist in the Maestro of Metadata category for this years Music Business Association’ Bizzy Awards and I look forward to joining industry colleagues in Nashville in two weeks for the #MusicBiz2024 conference and the Bizzy Awards dinner.

I will also be speaking on the panel “10X: How New Markets & Innovation Can Help The Music Industry Grow Tenfold” on Tuesday, May 14. Drop in! http://www.musicbiz2024.com
