Kevin’s Music Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Executive
I spent nearly 30 years in the entertainment industry, from radio promotion at Sony Music to leading digital operations and distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures’ WaterTower Music and founding my own soundtrack label, Gardener Recordings. I understand how much people put into building a career in this business—and how unsettling it can feel when the work, the industry, or your own priorities change. Today, as an ICF Associate Certified Coach, I help music professionals work through career decisions, leadership challenges, and questions about what comes next. Whether you’re considering a new role, feeling stuck in your current one, or rethinking your direction, I offer a warm, thoughtful space to talk honestly, sort through what matters, and decide how you want to move forward.
