Who is AKB?
I’m Alandis Brassel, a twenty-something entrepreneur residing in NYC. I write BeingAKB to keep track of developments as I start my business and share my thoughts on subjects such as music, business, culture, and pressing issues such as education. The hope is that someone will be helped, encouraged, and maybe even entertained by this site’s contents.
Growing up, I never envisioned launching a career in New York City, nor did I think that I’d be able to make a living doing something I loved so much. Nonetheless, here I am, in the entertainment industry, looking to make my mark. I’m a recent graduate of New York University, where I received my M.A. in Music Business (also a proud graduate of Hampton University!) and spent two years developing digital marketing strategies and business models for “The New Urban Music Business”. Now that I’m finished, I split my time between running 10 Stigwood Enterprises, Inc. and doing freelance audio engineer work for companies like Def Jam and Bloomberg TV. Over the past three years I’ve had the privilege of working for music industry legends such as Timbaland, Kevin Liles, Jimmy Douglass, and Lester Snell.
I specialize in helping urban music artists take their careers to the next level through talent development and creative use of digital technologies. If you want to set up a consultation, contact me at akb@beingakb.com.
Also, be sure to check out my latest project, Go Forth Music. Dubbed “The Service Platform”, we’re working on providing educational resources, practical tools, and support services for musicians and music industry entrepreneurs. You can see the launch blog here.
