On Thursday, November 6 at 4 PM ET, you’re invited to join Berklee Online for a Q&A session. Academic Advisors will be joined by Berklee Online instructor Ardie Farhadieh.

Ardie began at the Windish Agency, overseeing logistics for 100+ DJs/artists. He then led marketing at The Billions Corporation, handling corporate/branding/sponsorships for Mumford & Sons, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Arcade Fire, and more, and helped build Spotify’s Fans First presale. He founded Wick Management, developing Marian Hill to platinum success, earning Billboard’s 40 Under 40. Now at Split Second Management, he represents Marian Hill, slenderbodies, the Kilians, and Michael Brun. For Berklee Online he wrote and teaches Artist Management.
