In managing the independent Alt-Rock & Punk band, Sh'Bang, from Philadelphia, I fulfilled a number of roles: booking shows, earning press coverage, overseeing and strategizing marketing releases, and co-managing social media. In my year and a half of hands on managing I:
​
-
Created an LLC and stared a business bank account for the band
-
Established publishing royalties’ collection (ASCAP, SongTrust, DistroKid, SoundExchange)
-
Average Spotify monthly listeners increased from 22-1,040 ; increased Spotify followers from 17-132
-
Song streams rose consistently, 5+ songs with more than 1,000 streams & lead-single “Make-Up Sex” accruing 5,514 streams
-
290 true followers gained on Instagram during time of management
