More about me
In light of being a professional DJ for over 15 years in NY and CA, I've been involved in audio work for quite a while in a number of ways, working as an on-air host for KSDS-FM Jazz 88.3 for four years as well as working as an on-air host and producer for Red Bull Studios New York when I lived there from 2014-2021. I was also a part of Made In NY Media Center’s Podcast Certification first ever cohort in early 2018, getting taught, mentored and certified by Kerry Donahue. I currently work for Building Beats (https://buildingbeats.org) teaching music production, DJ'ing and podcasting to NY and LA youth, having creating our entire podcasting curriculum. I've cleaned and edited a lot of music for terrestrial radio play in addition to ghost producing DJ mixes for a number of high-profile music artists (Metronomy, CocoRosie, Sampa The Great, Perfume Genius, Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger, Dawn Richard and more). I'm looking for any kind of work that will give me more concrete sound design experience in addition to podcasting. I'm open to any time commitment for any project.
This website is a growing directory of people of color who work in audio around the world. You’ll find editors, hosts, writers, producers, sound designers, engineers, project managers, musicians, reporters, and content strategists with varied experience from within the industry and in related fields.
It’s both a place for employers to find POC candidates, and a place where POC can find each other for meetups, collaborations, advice and so on, which means that not everyone you’ll see on here is actively looking for a job.
To our POC family: we see you and we stand with you. Let’s continue to support each other.
If you’re an employer, we need to talk.
*clears throat*
While recruiting diverse candidates is a great first step, it’s not going to be enough if we want the industry to look and sound meaningfully different in the future. Let us be clear: this isn’t about numbers alone. This is about getting the respect that people of color—and people of different faiths, abilities, ages, socioeconomic statuses, educational backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientation—deserve. So before you get started, here are the Terms of Service:
I will pay employees a living wage.
I will consider the ways in which my workspace might be hostile to people of color and find concrete ways to support their contributions and wellbeing.
I will continually reflect on how my networks, taste, curiosity, comfort and values are shaped by my race, class, gender, where I grew up, the media I consume, and the fact that we live in a white supremacist culture. This takes time. It will require vulnerability, and a commitment to ongoing learning.
I understand that this directory is not ZipRecruiter, and that expanding my hiring practices requires that I dedicate some time to engaging with potential candidates in a deeper way than simply scanning their years of industry experience.
