Meet Your Mentor

Hi! I’m Steph, and it's so nice to meet you.

I created Concert Collective to be the guide I wish I had when I started. With 15 years in the music industry — from local venues to major festivals — I’ve seen how life-changing it can be to work in a role that aligns with your passion. So many of us spend most of our lives working. Why not do something that lights you up?

That’s why I built Concert Collective: to help people like you get started in a field that’s creative, exciting, and deeply rewarding. Because being part of the team that helps bring music to life? It’s not just work — it’s purpose. Whether you’re here to explore or fully commit, you belong in this space. 🤍
