The midterm elections are 42 weeks from today and we are more dialed in than ever @impactdataandevents . The largest impact on elections is made by registering and turning out NEW #voters. Our data model with @johnshopkinsu @snfagora shows the top trending #artists in each location w/ the most unregistered and non-voting fans. We’re thrilled to share our first ever #impactreport, w/ @mit and more, that highlights our extensive reach to traditionally hard to engage low-propensity groups. We’ve designed 27 free #impact concerts for 2026 to turnout underserved fans in addition to scaling our digital program that’s built for over 3,000 #artists in our data to turn out #newvoters. Thank you to the donors, foundations, colleagues, and friends that have already set up meetings to fund this work. If you or someone you know would like to contribute to these #nonprofit plans, please let us know. The more lead time we have, the larger impact we will have on turning out NEW voters. #linkinbio for the full report and LFG!!! 🗳️🎶❤️

WOW to everyone who came out last night from the Bronx to NJ and celebrated all things #VOTING at @ivotedconcerts #NYC! We also LOVE all of the #futurevoters that attended and got to share the stage w/ @_conniediiamond and @laybankz .😭 As in addition to activating new #voters, our data shows us how to reach those who will be able to #vote when #voting in the first elections one is eligible for is what determines if someone becomes a lifelong voter. Statistically increasing #voterturnout is what we do, but pairing that with providing free shows to fans who are telling us it’s their first concert, since tix are otherwise so expensive, is a culmination of community joy unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. We’ve built the machine for 2026 and are beyond ready to go! I get NONSTOP compliments about our best in class team that I take no credit for because THEY SHOWED UP. Whether it’s @nyumusicbiz students handling RSVP check-in up to the highest levels of the industry, all involved asked to be here. I am humbled to know and work alongside each and every one of you. We are SO excited to scale all of this in 2026 and beyond! ❤️🗳️🎶

Thanks to @snfagorajhu for this piece on our collaborative work that identifies the top trending artists in any location w/ the most low-propensity voters. This also determines where *any* artist will increase civic impact the most. As we enter a year w/ MORE open seats on ballots nationwide than last year, I deeply believe the power of this data is more crucial than ever. We’ll continue to make this available to ANYONE working in a non-partisan manner to increase civic impact. DYK what determines election outcomes is who registers the most NEW voters? Our data does this for all that #music touches. Please use it. Thank you! #linkinbio for the piece

We’re super excited to share that we’ll be presenting @netrootsnation ! Join us June 6th @pa_convention where we’ll be sharing our @snfagora #data model showing the top trending local + national artists w/ the most low-propensity fans. DYK there are 1M+ songs released a week & 300M creators worldwide? Our tools cut through these numbers to maximize impact with precision. This data model covers #music, all of #entertainment, #sports, and the influencer space. We can’t wait to see you there! 📊🗳️

Chatted with @bianca__lambert @byrdie , along with the great @bryancalhoun , on how to turn a viral moment into career sustainability, the power of #data on what people are engaging with in each location, the work @bookmorewomen is doing to solve inequities, and more! #linkinbio for the piece. 🎶📝

Kicked off @musicbizassoc 2026 by moderating “Mastering Self-Management: Navigating the Independent Artist Journey” where we touched on all steps for #musicians recording and releasing #music from the creative process through release, touring, & more. Thanks to the @musicbizassoc team and world-class panelists @desireedawsonmusicc , @leslymxntes , & @gunrwilson @arnallgoldengregory for dropping so much crucial knowledge and wisdom this morning.

My ❤️ is full from S5E3 where we cover “Get Your Business Affairs Together” w/ MY #CopyrightLaw Professor the esteemed @professordave who leads @numusicdept ’s #MusicIndustry program. This episode is a literal masterclass that covers everything you need to know from a legal perspective when writing, recording, and releasing #music. So buckle up! It’s a lot but you’ll be happy you have all of this info in one session. Out now via #linkinbio or wherever you get #podcasts. +Happy Mother’s Day to those who are celebrating! ❤️

Excited to be moderating “Mastering Self-Management: Navigating the Independent Artist Journey” @musicbizassoc in #Atlanta this week! Join us on Monday w/ super🌟panelists @leslymxntes , @desireedawsonmusic , & @gunrwilson of @arnallgoldengregory . HUGE congrats to @drporkchop71 and team for putting together such an extraordinary week of programming, parties, and more! ❤️🎶

🎤#RoadRecovery Co-Founder Gene Bowen took the stage at @mmf_us Nashville Summit @mlc_us 🎶 On the panel “Amplifying Impact: Driving Social Change Through Music,” Gene joined @emwizzle @collectiveentinc , #BrianGarrett (@sonymusicpub ), and @_holly_go (@black.opry ) to talk about music as a force for change 💫From culture-shifting storytelling to grassroots impact, the conversation centered on one thing: when we use music with intention, we create real transformation #mmfus #mmfusnashville #musicindustry

DYK that 16 & 17 year olds can pre #registertovote in many states? I didn’t until @feelgoodaction taught me this and I’m grateful for it. However I did know that #voting in the first elections one is eligible for increases the likelihood of becoming a lifelong #voter, underlying the deep importance of this work. Huge thanks to @snfagora for providing the data allowing us to know which artists are trending in key states where #preregistration is available and to those who stepped up to preregister fans and spread the word: @rem @bertisdowns @phazegawd704 @umphreysmcgee @rachellowen @steepcanyonrangers @therevivalists @revcauses @c3mgmt @drivebytruckers @cstauder @andrewbborstein @redlightmgmt @thenational @4ljavi @sampomerantz @scoobertdoobert.pizza @dearsoulmusicco +more. Link in bio to pre-reg + check your voter reg. We’re just getting rolling on targeted campaigns with precision for the #midterms and are excited about the nonprofits, partners, & more utilizing @snfagora x @impactdataandevents ’ data to make the largest impact possible on this year’s election and beyond. ❤️🗳️

It was a privilege to contribute to @mit ’s #ClimateMachine study that identifies 33 specific recommendations with quantified emissions reduction potentials for the #concert sector of the #musicindustry. Now it’s time to put this work into action in a way that can also be fun for #fans. i.e. @amtrak #partytrain to @lollapalooza , more official partnerships w/ public transit that also rewards fans with discounts on both concert and rail tickets when purchased together, + I’d love to see bikeshare dock concierge services near venues the way @citibike does for its busiest locations during rush hour. Link in bio for the full report. 🌎

Enjoyed catching up with stellar @northeasterncamd alums and meeting + sharing remarks to incoming @northeastern students and their families at the school’s @nycmarymount campus this morning. +Love how there’s always a creative athlete that tracks me down as well. Full ⭕️ because I lived in this campus’ dorms years ago as an #intern. 🎓🎶🗽
