It was another day of scouring the internet for new music at work, when I happened to hear “Islands” by Rynn on a Spotify playlist. Rynn’s voice instantly grabbed my attention and the song calmed every bone in my body. I felt like I had been transported to an island. In reality I was still at a desk in my windowless office. I was doing A&R research at the time but dreaming of the day when I wouldn't need a fancier title to decide if something was worthy of being signed.

After getting ahold of Rynn, the artist and writer behind the song, we briefly chatted about her upcoming plans and her story. “Islands” had connected with many people and when I discovered it it already had millions of Spotify streams.

When I left the company I was at to pursue artist management full time, I reconnected with Rynn and we discussed getting her second EP finished and released. I have been managing Rynn ever since and I am proud to be apart of her journey.
