Friends and Family, timing is everything. I am truly honored to join the @RecordingAcademy ’s 2025 New Member Class! I am looking forward to collaborating and helping within this community as much as I possibly can. As someone who got his start as an intern and then worked my way up to running departments at several record labels I always must pay this energy forward.
Thank you @obimillions@masteredbymike@kelzring and Ellis Sorkin for your guidance and recommending me for this honor.
As a member, I now have a voice in the GRAMMY Awards process and a platform to advocate for our industry, support my peers, and grow in my own journey.
What makes the Academy strong is its diversity—of genres, experiences, and voices. I’m excited to contribute my perspective and help champion musical excellence around the world. #IAmTheAcademy @recordingacademy
Thank you @billboard for being included in today’s Executive Turntable!! I’ve dreamed of this time for as long as I can remember, sitting in the studio learning everything I could about music from my mentors.

LAST WEEK FOR TMPC INTRO SALE
“When Terrace and I first met we shared a passion for drum machines. His MPC 3000 work is now legendary, and I have to say this Terrace Martin plugin truly captures that lost sonic.
As technology changed so did a loss in warmth and low end.
This plugin captures what’s been missing in and who better than to bring that feeling back.”

The last slide is one of my favorite scenes, lines, and actors from one of my favorite movies. I can relate to this one. 🐉
One week ago today, @blxst headlined his final show for the 5-year anniversary of “No Love Lost.” 5 nights at @theroxy , one for each year, and I had the incredible honor of hosting each one of those nights.
When Blxst put me up for the task, I was equal parts very moved and terrified. I have so much love and respect for my friend, a great artist - I knew it was a no brainer to be a part of this experience. It was also my first time ever hosting on this level, getting on a mic in front of an audience like this. I prayed every day that I made him and his team proud.
What a blessing to have the opportunity to recall and tell stories of times of joy for a release that came to life against all odds during a pandemic. Thank you @blxst , @alleyydreamin , @mother.breezy , CB, @evgle team and all involved for this incredible time and full circle moment. I will always be grateful that I had a small part in it. 🦅🐉
Over the years I would DJ for a friend, family member, or a special event. Gold Line is a place I had always wanted to play records at and talked about doing that for years. I was honored to have played last weekend and use their amazing vinyl collection to do so. It was amazing to return to something I hadn’t done in many years and excited to keep doing it. Thank you to all who came, and though I kept it low key to get back in the swing of it, I truly had the best time!
Chris LaRocca’s project “Dog Years” is out to the world today! I’m so proud of you Chris. Thank you Aaron, the hard work from the label, and all involved who helped make / create the music! Chris, you had a vision and you stuck to it. A sonic template and a belief that you could achieve it. My favorite thing I did was introduce you to the talented @dirtydavee you both saw the world the same way, you both had a pure ability to capture feelings into tones and it was magic to see what you all turned that introduction to. I’m so happy to be a part of this team that got to see your music released today! It feels like yesterday when we first signed you with Ebony and Tyler. You really came along way and so happy for this release today!
Morgan released “One Man” and “Bad Gyal Energy” and she continues to raise the bar on every release! Big congrats to the artist, studio creatives, management, label who helped bring these songs to the world! I’m happy to be a part of this one.
James Vickery’s album ‘JAMES’ is now released to the world. The show at SXSW years back impressed us all. We knew the talent was special. Alex, a great manager and friend worked hard with James on a vision x path. Thank you to all the creative collaborators: producers, mixers, co-writers, engineers. The amazing studios we had a chance to use. As A&R, I was honored to help bring this album to the world. I am thankful to the Red Bull Records label team and A&R team for the commitment to see the album reach its full potential. James I cannot wait to see you on tour as you make believers of everyone who gets a chance to hear your music and see you live!
Beartooth's new live album "I Was A...LIVE" has been officially released today! What an incredible performance by the band. The release came from an idea form Thomas, Caleb, band / team to release this incredible show. To me this feels like a proper tribute to the amazing catalogue of songs Beartooth created over a decade, and the great Dave Shapiro's belief in this band and team. I know everyone involved can be proud of this. Amazing work to the teams at @beartoothband@redbullrecords
