Hi, I'm Jesse...
...but you've probably figured that out by now!
I am a music industry professional currently working at MINT Talent Group, a booking agency based in Chicago, IL, as an Agent Associate and Jr. Booking Agent. I have worked at the company for over 5 years now, beginning in early 2021 as an intern and working my way up the latter to where I am now signing my own clients. I have worked closely with and trained under Patrick McAuliff, a seasoned booking agent and owner/founder of MINT. McAuliff represents major artists such as Stick Figure, Stephen Marley, Brian McKnight, Collie Buddz, The Flatlanders, Shemekia Copeland and many more, and the two of us have worked tirelessly to bring his roster's live touring business to life over the past 5+ years.
Having graduated Summa Cum Laude from DePaul University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Media & Cinema Studies and a double minor in Music Business and Sound Design, I am not afraid of putting in the work. I am extremely passionate about learning and you will find that I am highly adaptable and can quickly pick up new skills in any scenario due to my strong detail orientation and time management proficiency. Some key strengths of mine include quality leadership skills, media analysis, organizational communication, administrative expertise and being a team player.
​
If my qualifications pique your interest and satisfy the qualifications of a potential job opportunity you have available, I am all ears!
