Music Business Faculty | Global Music Institute (GMI)

As Music Business Faculty, I designed and taught courses exploring the inner workings of the industry—from copyright and publishing to global trends and innovation. I also curated guest sessions with industry leaders, creating a dynamic and real-world learning experience for students.

Workshops and Trainings

I’ve had the joy of designing and leading multiple workshops/trainings across the globe for artists, collectives, cultural workers, and creative organizations—covering everything from copyright and artist contracts to creative resilience, artistic freedom, and risk management. I design sessions to be deeply informative alongside blending legal know-how with real-world insight, care, and community.

If you'd like to know more about my previous sessions and how we can collaborate, I invite you to check here for more details and email me.
