Hi, My name is Junior! I’m a Chicago native and grew up on the south side. In May of 2021, I graduated with a BA in Music Business with a concentration in Live and Touring. Through my education at Columbia, I originally came in as an Instrumental Performer, though I ended up immersing myself in ways that was no longer the playing part. Turning over to the Music Business program, I realized I loved the live aspect of events whether it was me playing or someone else. That excitement when the curtains pull away from the stage or when the music drops feels like a high I cannot describe.

I have played numerous roles in the industry that range from being a production and logistic coordinator for Columbia’s Manifest, ticketing for House of Blues & Lollapalooza, and Artist Hospitality & Merchandise at Lincoln Hall. I have taken my own visions and dreams into creating my own events alongside four other women with our production company, DROPS Media. These are just some of many amazing opportunities that make me want to strive for more. No matter how big or small my role is, I take any chance to be around live entertainment.
