Taught by
doing.
I spent years as a signed artist touring the country. Now I run a recording and production studio on Maryland's Eastern Shore and teach music business and AI at Salisbury University. Everything I teach comes from doing it first. That's the whole idea: take what works in the real world and make it something you can actually use.
