Christina J.

My long-term career goal is to build a multifaceted career in the music industry as both a professional singer and an industry professional. As an artist, I aspire to perform and tour, using my voice to connect with audiences while drawing inspiration from diverse musical traditions. At the same time, I am interested in working within a major record label, where I can contribute to the development and promotion of artists.
I am particularly interested in roles such as artist management and A&R, where I can help discover talent, shape artistic direction, and support artists in building sustainable careers. My goal is to combine my experience as a performer with my knowledge of the business side of the industry, allowing me to approach the music world from both creative and strategic perspectives.
Ultimately, I want to contribute to a more globally connected music industry by bringing together different cultural influences, supporting diverse artists, and creating music that resonates across audiences.

Immerse myself in the local music community: I plan to attend live performances, connect with local musicians, and seek opportunities to perform. Engaging directly with the music scene will allow me to grow as a singer and better understand how music is created and shared across cultures.
Strengthen my Spanish language skills: Through both coursework and daily interactions, I aim to improve my fluency so I can communicate more effectively and build meaningful connections within the community.
Expand my academic and professional understanding of the music industry: By taking courses such as Creative Industries Media and Creative Business Leadership, I will gain insight into how the music and creative industries operate internationally, while also exploring the relationship between American jazz and Latin-influenced music.
