Yes I\u2019m a music industry baby. Growing up with a radio programmer\/record executive for a father, our garage was filled CDs. He often brought me to radio promotions & concerts during his time at KACE & V100.<\/p>\nYes I\u2019m a music industry baby. Growing up with a radio programmer\/record executive for a father, our garage was filled CDs. He often brought me to radio promotions & concerts during his time at KACE & V100.<\/p>\n
In 2001, my father Kevin Fleming launched TheUrbanBuzz. It wasn\u2019t until my sophomore year of college that I started writing for the Buzz. I would play him different underground music that I was into, so he encouraged me to start a column. I\u2019d email him weekly telling him about a particular artist or album I was feeling. Pretty soon I started gaining a following.<\/p>\n
In 2015, I launched PALM (PrettyAwesomeLitMusic), a brand shining a spotlight on great music I\u2019d find online. Even as a college student I had vision, connections & a heart set on music.<\/p>\n
This February I started at Benztown as Affiliate Relations Assistant. I\u2019ve had internships and written for publications like HipHopDX & SLAP Media and worked for Salem Media group ,\u2018Stache Media and Open Road Films.<\/p>\n
Ultimate goal: to manage PALM as a large media Entertainment company specializing in creating digital content focused on underground music. I want to coordinate partnerships with larger brands to curate festivals, tours and other events. Additionally I will be writing\/directing digital content.<\/p>\n
The biggest change I\u2019ve noticed with my dad is the hustle and struggle of running your own business. Seeing first-hand what must be done as a music publication CEO inspired me. Recently my father was hired as the program director at 90.7 KPFK FM. After 10+ years away from radio he\u2019s returned, and I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled! We\u2019ve got great momentum going in the house with me starting my new job too.<\/p>\n
The future of the music industry is bright with a lot of possibilities. However, this isn\u2019t a get rich quick game. It requires passion. I want to learn the ins and outs of this business. To do so I must put my nose to the grindstone.<\/p>\n
\u201cNights\u201d by Frank Ocean. Almost every line in that song I can relate to what I was going through at the time it came out. \u201cNights\u201d makes me think of chasing dreams while doing whatever it takes to pay bills.<\/p>\n
