Jr. Advisory Board

Our Jr. Advisory Board is a two-way street…  They teach us something — and we teach them something.

Our Jr. Advisory Board consists of a handful of extremely talented, passionate, driven young adults in high school and college that share an extraordinary enthusiasm for music.

As members of our Jr. Advisory Board, they’re our eyes and ears for emerging artists and bands that resonate to their age group; and listen to all the artists/CDs that we’re considering for clients that cater to a younger demographic and psychographic profile.

Along the way, we give them a taste of the music industry, and a snapshot of life in the day-to-day of a company.  We try to impress them with the satifaction of doing something for a living that you’re proud of — and you truly enjoy — whether that’s in the music industry or not.

One thing we’re sure of.  You’re looking at a handful of tomorrow’s leaders; in whatever fields they choose to explore.
