"I believe that record labels are a must for any serious artist and, because of that, companies like UMG aren't going anywhere. What we will be doing is pivoting our focus more digitally than we ever have before. The competition will continue to be fierce when it comes to online and social marketing efforts for artists; however, I am ready and prepared to bring the ingenuity and grit that it takes to remain a stand-out in the entertainment industry."
