I am fortunate to have a fellow Navy Veteran, Mr. Rob Leland - Creative | Public Speaker | Drummer | Bada$$ CEO @rsicreatives. Rob is the CEO of RSI Creatives and the Chief Talent Officer for m.ysterio.us. He is a former submariner and has a massive passion for music.

Music has been and will always be my passion. People will always be my purpose. For years, I tried to figure out how to serve both masters, and it finally became clear in 2016.

As a performer, my time in the music business has long passed, but my desire to elevate new music and performers is stronger than ever. I’ve always considered myself an accidental tastemaker, so I stepped into the promotions space. Doing so has connected me to a great many artists, many of whom are struggling with their identity and place in life.

More than most, I understand the ‘Artist’s Dilemma.’ The ‘Artist’s Dilemma’ is a combination of behaviors and cultural expectations that occur in virtually every artist’s life, and I know how to overcome them because I was a slave to them once upon a time.

After much consideration and discernment, it became crystal clear that my place in the entertainment business was to connect with the artist and promote their work, but also to offer myself as a beacon of counseling and coaching.
