What is your educational background, did you study music business? I am a Belmont University alum. Belmont University is one of the few schools that had a music business program, and what's unique about Belmont is that USC and Berklee required you to be a music major, so you had to audition.

Belmont is actually a Bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration in Music. And what I loved about Belmont was that every professor, like the copyright class was taught by currently practicing Entertainment Lawyers, every professor that I had was currently working in the industry. It wasn’t that we were being taught out of a textbook, we were getting real time what’s happening in the industry right now and that’s what makes that school so special and unique.
