How is school in New York City going, what are you study- ing and why, and how do you like living in Manhattan while in school? I absolutely love New York City and living there has been a dream of mine for a long time. The hustle and bustle is so my vibe and I feel like I fit in really well there. I’ve been attending Marymount Man- hattan as of January and it’s been quite a shock but incredible none- theless! I took about a three-year break from college and just de- cided to go back over the holiday season. It kind of hit me that I don’t know nearly as much about the business as I thought I did. So I’m majoring in Media and Arts Man- agement and minoring in Music. I figured I could learn the tools to apply to myself as I am a DIY artist but also apply it to other situations if need be. It was also about being in the city every day utilizing the connections I have there more and making new ones and keeping up with them. Aside from college, I’ve been working with Song Art’s Academy’s Billy Seidman, as well as Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI). Watch a video for “Love Again” by Taylor Tote NJ STAGE - ISSUE 58 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 41
