What's your business, and who are your customers?

Music Row Voice is a vocal coaching customer. Our clients are primarily artists, but also beginner & immediate singers.

Tell us about yourself

I've been singing since I was five years old. I had incredible teachers and started teaching myself at age 15. I opened my first private singing studio overseas in Australia when I was 21. Ten years later, I began Music Row Voice in Nashville, TN. I ADORE being part of the singer's development, watching their journey and their pride in their voice development.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

So many of my clients have major success stories. Music Row Voice has also been named one of Nashville's top 12 vocal coaches five years in a row. We're members of the CMA, ACM, and Recording Academy. But I would say my biggest accomplishment as a business owner is the lifelong friendships I have formed with my clients.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

The hardest thing about being a business owner in what I do is the changing influx of revenue and the last-minute scheduling changes.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Know your competition and what sets you apart.
  2. Have an abundance of great mentors.
  3. Be prepared to work and hustle and advocate for yourself like you never have before.
