Marketing brain, writer's heart, musician's soul. At SoundCampaign I run SEO, unclog whatever marketing bottleneck is in the way, and write the things that help artists actually get somewhere. I'm a musician too, so most of what I write comes from both sides. When I'm not doing any of that I'm in my broken office, writing and producing, still chasing a sound that might make the charts one day.
