GETTING TO KNOW CARLIE ANDERSON

I have always been musically inclined and an avid music lover. From a young age, I was always singing and listening to music; and at the age of 10, I began teaching myself piano. Now, I am a classically trained pianist and an emerging music industry professional. From working at organizations such as The Mechanical Licensing Collective to the Recording Academy, I'm always finding ways to stay immersed in the music industry and take on every opportunity I can.
