About Me
Hello!
I was born just outside of Austin, Tx in Lake Travis but spent my teen years in Salem, Or. I have always been a singer and performer but was focusing solely on directing and stage performance until I attended Berklee College of Music in 2015. Once there, I began teaching myself how to play guitar and started writing my own music. In 2016 I founded my first artist project called Your Friend Juniper releasing original music and content across all media platforms.Being an independent artist, I had to curate my own brand and social media content which began my journey into the world of content creation.
After graduating in 2019 with a BA in Professional Music, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a songwriter and performer. In 2020 my partner and I founded an underground music and art collective called The Fuzz, hosting monthly live music and art mini festivals featuring artists of all mediums. Having to DIY everything with my own artist project and the management and marketing of The Fuzz, I taught myself to produce audio and visual content using many platforms such as Adobe, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and Logic Pro. I managed myself, booked gigs for myself and The Fuzz and organized all the marketing and promotion. Eventually other artists in my community began asking me to create content and produce music for them. This led to me quitting my teaching job at a small music academy to work as an independent content creator working with clients all over the world through various platforms.
In 2021, I started remotely working as a writer, content creator and social media manager for Underwater Sunshine Festival, which hosts an amazing annual music festival in New York City. I wrote for their website, created content for and managed all the social media and worked with the management team marketing for the 2021 and 2022 festival. I am currently going on a DIY music tour around the U.S working remotely and performing my original music. I love creating audio and visual content, curating events and marketing campaigns and producing music and video content for other artists. If you have a creative dream, I would love to bring it to life with you. Thanks for reading!
