Music industry and business professional

Alison M.

I am a music industry professional with a strong background in both music technology and the music business, and I’m well-equipped to tutor in these areas due to a combination of my education, hands-on experience, and teaching approach.

I hold a degree in a field related to music, technology, or business (you can specify this if you'd like), and my academic foundation has been further enriched by real-world, industry-level experience. Throughout my career, I’ve also continuously upskilled in areas such as audio engineering, music production, royalties infrastructure, and digital distribution, which has allowed me to stay current with the evolving landscape of music technology and the business side of the industry.

In my roles within the music industry, I’ve worked on both the creative and operational sides of music, including overseeing music technology solutions, managing digital royalties, and launching scalable artist tools. I've led training sessions for colleagues and interns, often explaining complex concepts such as metadata management, rights administration, digital distribution mechanics, and emerging technologies like AI in music. I’ve also presented music business workshops and guided young professionals and students through one-on-one mentorship, offering practical advice on career navigation and music entrepreneurship.

My teaching style is adaptive and student-focused. I aim to meet learners where they are—whether they’re just starting out or looking to go pro—and I tailor each session to their goals and experience level. I’ve worked with high school and college students, as well as early-career professionals, both in group settings and one-on-one sessions. I incorporate case studies, real-world scenarios, and hands-on projects (such as mock distribution plans or DAW sessions) to make learning both practical and engaging.
