I'm a songwriter, musician and performer located in Nashville. I would love to chat about all aspects of the current state of the music industry, as well as the best ways to go about setting up house concert tours, making a solid living in today's day and age as a songwriter, how to effectively use Spotify (how to get on playlists), and just get to know as many folks as possible at the event that presently live in Nashville, to continue building my tribe and community. I look forward to meeting the community as a whole. This will be my first time attending this MusicBiz event.
