  • What are your favorite music curation projects to work on?

My favorite curation projects are ones where brands trust me and our Music Curation Team to be the minds behind their brand sound. The ones where we build robust lists from scratch and dictate what plays at what times, what plays in which regions, and what the growth of these playlists and stations will look like over time.

  • Who are some of your role models in your field?

Aaron Axelsen, longtime music director of LIVE 105 in San Francisco, current Program Director of FLOOD FM, and renowned tastemaker whom I’ve worked alongside for more than 15 years. Also, Kevin Weatherly, program director of KROQ in Los Angeles. 

  • What do you like most about being the Head of Music Curation?

Being able to expose people to music our curation team loves and turning customers on to music that they love.

  • What is your favorite part about working at Rockbot?

The people. From working in the office in the 2010s to working remotely since March 2020, the sense of connection and care for each other has been unmatched anywhere else.

  • What has been the most exciting part of your career so far?

The most exciting part of my career has been all the time and effort we put into the Walmart account from music curation to product efforts. It’s rewarding to see the best work across multiple departments lead to a major win for Rockbot.

  • What has been the most challenging part of your career so far?

Finding time to give every one of our hundreds of playlists the attention they deserve. We’ve done a great job of making sure lists don’t grow stale, but even so, I’d like for them all to be maintained with equal effort. 

  • Is there anything else you’d like to share about your experience working at Rockbot or your career in general?

We’re a team that’s grown exponentially since I started in 2012, while still one that’s lean and mean. There’s a passion for providing our customers with the best experience across all departments.
