What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead talent, entertainment, brand partnership, event, or music projects where I can build strategic relationships and deliver high-impact experiences.

I've built entertainment partnerships, premium gifting experiences, celebrity events, and sync licensing projects through Ty McKery Media. My work has connected high-profile talent, publicists, agents, and vendors with organizations including Apple Music's Platoon, The Recording Academy, and Amazon Music.

Previously, I led urban A&R at Spirit Music Group, securing placements in television and film, negotiating deals, and creating catalog-exploitation initiatives. At West One Media Group and DASH Radio, I produced entertainment content, booked talent, developed sponsorships, and helped grow platform visibility.

I've also managed brand campaigns and large-scale resident events for Netflix and Courvoisier, recovered more than $1,000,000 in performance royalties at Broadcast Music, Inc., and founded Teddie's Toy Chest at The Young Voice Mission.
