I interviewed Noah Kahan for my college newspaper in 2021. After picking up more artist interviews and launching my Substack, I decided I wanted to work with artists rather than just write about them.

I leveraged my own content to land some freelance digital marketing gigs and eventually a contract role managing an indie rock band’s social media, which led to my first (and only) full-time role in the music industry.

I no longer work in music full time, but I can confirm—the journalist to industry pro pipeline is very, very real.
