Many shores, many sounds.
My life in music, mapped out.

02 // THE ROLE
My role? Depends on the record.

Label. Label services. A&R. Distribution. Production. Management. Marketing. Sometimes all of it at once, sometimes just a push at the right moment. Every pin on the map has its own stories. This is just a subsection of records from the catalog. More will be added as I’ve got time.

5,000+Records
20+Years in music
10+Labels and brands

All of it in service of the same two things: independent artistic expression, and helping creators make a living doing what they love.

03 // THE RECORDS

A small sample of an ever-growing list — I keep adding records whenever I find the time.

04 // THE WHY
Why build this?

A few reasons, honestly. To give the creative side of my brain somewhere to play. To catalog — and reminisce over — the memories and projects behind these songs. And most of all, to celebrate the music of the artists I’ve been fortunate enough to work with.

This is a living, breathing project. Still to come:

  • anecdotes behind some of these records
  • the relationships built along the way
  • music marketing techniques that actually worked
  • amazing and incredible stories

…and a few cautionary tales from a Southern California kid who went around the world and back pursuing his dream — and helping others pursue theirs.

05 // NOW
The focus right now

My focus these days is my role as Head of Milk & Honey Records — working with acts of all sizes across pop, electronic, and global music.
