This is a project that I completed on behalf of my Portfolio 1 Course at Full Sail University, July 2022

1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Kenneth Young
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
June 29, 2022

2. I fell in love with electronic music when I was a kid and have
always had dreams of working in the industry
, at that age I was
told that I need to focus on something real like being a doctor.
The first chance I got I moved to Los Angeles to be closer to the
scene, immerse myself in it and experience as much as I can,
that brought my spark back again and with my current career
as a barber I met tons of industry people and was granted
behind the scenes access to music festivals and concerts and
got a first-hand view of how these events operate and that
made me want to pursue a career in the industry again. What
makes me unique is my willingness to try a new adventure at
the spare of the moment while being exposed to something
completely new and expanding my mind and experience in the
music business. I believe in getting the job done, being firm in
and handling situations professionally. I have a military
background as well as several years in retail management,
direct customer interaction as well as customer support on an
operations level as a customer service agent. I have never been
afraid to take on a new challenge or lead a team in a project.
