What is the single biggest suggestion you would give to someone wanting to get into this career?

“Jump in. No project, task, or artist should be too small. This is where you learn the most. And if you don’t know where to start, just ask. Most people are willing to share what they’ve learned. Just like someone once shared (and continues to share) with me.”

What’s the #1 mistake people make when trying to get into this career?

“It’s impossible to know everything right away. I’m about five years into my career and still learning every day. Take the time to observe, learn, and listen to what the more experienced co-workers around you have to say.”

What is the question people should ask about this career but rarely do?

“Wow, great question. I think Tour Coordinator can be a vague title and people are surprised to learn that for me it has to do with the financial side of the music industry.”

What is one thing I should have asked which I didn’t?

“I think careers in business management aren’t frequently discussed as an option for Accounting/Finance degrees, or Business degrees. Unless you specifically seek it out at a college that specializes in music, most people aren’t aware it’s a career path.”
