Franklin, TN

Hello! I'm Katy! I'm a recent graduate of the Music Business program at Full Sail University! Since moving to Nashville last summer I dove right into getting plugged and working to gain experience in the industry. I began by completing an internship in Business Affairs at Provident Label Group last fall and since I have expanded my skills through an internship at Eaglemont Entertainment in Artist Management. Even before moving to Nashville, for a number of years I served as a volunteer at a variety of concerts and conferences. I enjoy all types of music but have a deep love for christian music. Looking forward to meeting you at Music Biz 2017!
