Dogwood Arts Project Manager
Knoxville, TN
I believe music is a unifier. It is a piece of art that is accessible to all and creates a space for dialogue. Music creates opportunity for a community to converse on topics, emotions, conflict and issues that wouldn't be discussed in any other setting. It brings identity to a society and pushes us towards new ideas.
My goal is to share with others the importance of music. I look to create new ways for artists to be heard. I want to create platforms for fans to discover music in ways that don't exhaust them but energize them. I fight for the rights of the music makers in hopes that more will be inspired and incentivized to continue to make more of it. I want to create space in my community for music to exist. I want to improve the world around me and the best way I know how it to continue to fill that space with music.
