Music

The music thread.

Recording engineering background, four-and-a-half years as a Grammy Foundation voting member, and ongoing work through the X Enterprises studio. The music isn't a hobby — it's part of the stack.

I hold a diploma in Recording Engineering from the Audio Institute of America. From 2011 through early 2016 I served as a voting member of the Recording Academy, helping select the annual GRAMMY Awards. I also sat on the executive board of the Kirkland Performance Center during a period of record revenue, contributing through marketing committee leadership and key fundraising.

Today, music projects run through the X Enterprises studio alongside the rest of the publishing and product work — sibling projects like The Venice Beats and the Bandmate book series on the Aqualis roster. New releases and appearances get surfaced through the link hub as they go live.
