About Instructor

Jamie

I started my career planning educational workshops with some of North America's top artist managers, then moved on to manage commercial radio and internationally touring artists. I've since written a book about it, taught thousands how to do the same through my course, and founded smartistU, the world’s largest platform for music management and industry professionals.
