- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from the LA Recording School (Full Sail, Hollywood location) #1 in my class in 2005 with a focus on post-production and music production. I am a current voting member of the GRAMMYs in the Producers and Engineers wing. I have two publishing companies; Planetwood Productions (ASCAP) and Planetwood Motifs (BMI). With the state of flux that the music and entertainment industry are constantly in - it is very helpful to continue to be involved with Los Angeles-based organizations whose modus operandi is to keep their members informed. I am also the former Director for Southern California for the West Coast Songwriters, a current voting member of the Los Angeles Recording School Advisory Committee, a Voting Member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame...former Board Member of the California Copyright Conference (CCC)…My volunteer work for WCS, LARS and CCC has also helped to keep me 'up' on the latest -- as well as my own projects and involvement in the industry as a professional beyond my involvement with the Recording Academy and SONA.
