Warner Chappell Music
Global Catalog & Creative Services Emerging Talent Associate | Fall 2025
New York, NY
My first professional experience in the music industry was working at Warner Chappell Music in the New York office on both the Global Catalog and the Creative Services teams. Before this experience, I didn’t have a full understanding of what the catalog division does at a music company. The experience of working hand-in-hand with the Creative Services department while assisting in building out the new catalog division at Warner Chappell truly inspired me to dive deep into the world of catalog, helping to revitalize iconic artists, deep catalog songs, and legendary Warner works. In helping build out the catalog team at Warner Chappell, I was able to genre-categorize over 1,000+ songwriters and artists, assist in brand development, help generate the current state of play for social media strategies for acts like The Smiths, develop one-pagers for Chappell songwriters, and truly dive deep within the Warner Chappell catalog by researching deep catalog tracks, creating pitch decks with snapshots of the entire Warner Chappell catalog, and creating proposal kits for Warner Chappell Production Music and for film/TV sync pitching.
One of the most memorable moments I had at Chappell was fleshing out a pitch deck for Cab Calloway, a legendary Warner artist and songwriter. In preparing this, I was able to highlight notable accomplishments, develop my own proposed ideas while looking at considerations and approvals, and even brainstorm my own brand partnership pitch ideas. The most rewarding part of this was meeting with Cab Calloway’s estate and team to pitch the ideas that I had ahead of "100 Years of Cab Calloway." Seeing just how a catalog can be revitalized from start to action, and being part of those artist pitches, really inspired me to continue on that journey.
Black Dog
Led Zeppelin
One of the most memorable projects I worked on while in the Global Catalog division at Warner Chappell Music was researching artists. For Led Zeppelin, I researched their digital presence, DSPs, and social media activity, focusing on how to revitalize their iconic catalog. By doing this, I was also able to dive deep into the world of catalog music and experience new musical discoveries. Before my experience at Warner Chappell, I probably couldn’t name a single Led Zeppelin song. But now that I've had the opportunity to explore their music through my work, I have been able to truly discover, listen to, and appreciate their art!
