HIGHLIVESSS / EDITORIAL CURATION

ARTIST
DISCOVERY.

What’s in rotation.

ROLE — Artist discovery • A&R-informed curation • Editorial strategy

I take an A&R-informed approach to artist discovery—tracking emerging sounds, identifying promising talent, and translating what I’m hearing into editorial features. The format combines considered music curation with social-first storytelling, introducing underground artists to new audiences while preserving the culture and context around their work.

HIGHLIVESSS / COMMUNITY OUTREACH

MAGAZINE
OUTREACH

How the magazine moved through its community.

I shared Highlivesss with artists, contributors, music pages, and independent culture platforms connected to the world around the magazine. Some chose to post about the release in their own way, helping the project reach new audiences through genuine creative relationships and word of mouth.

“Shared by the people shaping culture.”
