San Francisco Supervisor Candidates Forum

wpid-object002_2-2010-09-27-15-02.jpg
On Monday, Sep 27, The Recording Academy SF Chapter (of which I’m the President) and the California Music and Culture Association (CMAC) put on the San Francisco Supervisor Candidate Forum, a political discussion focused on issues related to music and nightlife in the city.

The SF Chapter’s advocacy committee put in many hours of hard work along with our friends at CMAC and Barbary Coast Consulting to pull off an event that drew over 200 people to Yoshi’s SF on a monday night.

Bevan Dufty, current district 8 supervisor and mayor hopeful gave an entertaining keynote and we were also fortunate to hear performances from Brad Hughes and Sean Hayes. The event was moderated by Priya David Clemens of KTVU.

I’m proud to have been a sponsor of this first-of-its-kind event and hope to help produce more of these types of events in the future.

Make sure to vote on Nov 2!

Recording Academy Board of Governors Induction

2007-06-22Grammy


This week, I was inducted into the Board of Governors for the San Francisco chapter of the Recording Academy.


Although the Academy is mostly known for the Grammy Awards, much of the Academy’s focus is on advocacy for musicians and writers, preservation of historic recordings and community outreach for musicians in need among other things. To learn more about the Academy and all that they do for musicians and the community at large, check out Grammy.com.


Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I”m looking forward to serving the music community of San Francisco
