Navigating the music industry can seem overwhelming at first, but it doesn’t need to be. In this lecture, Johnathan breaks down how to build the career you want using your unique artistic voice. He provides step by step guidance on how to conceive and bring creative projects to fruition and navigate the behind the scenes aspects of the music industry.
When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, Johnathan shifted focus on how to keep creating art in a way that would engage new audiences and serve a social purpose. He pitched the idea for a new production of David T. Little’s Soldier Songs to Opera Philadelphia which would focus on increasing awareness of how PTSD manifests itself through the eyes of one particular veteran. The project that started as a stick figure drawing on a sticky note made it to the front page of the New York Times Arts Section along with features in The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Opera News, and Opera Wire among others. The film also landed the team GRAMMY® and International Opera Awards nominations and led to Johnathan becoming a member of the Recording Academy.
