Supporting musicians in their work and advocacy work motivates Sami in his job.
“I’ve experienced some of the most memorable moments of my life through music and concerts. In my career, I want to be involved in enabling musicians to focus on the essential aspects of their work so they can offer us all these amazing experiences. What interests me most in my work is societal impact and interactions with industry representatives and musicians.”
