Hailing from Suwanee, Georgia, Raven fell in love with music and the performing arts while learning to play the violin and guitar before choosing percussion as her instrument of choice. She performed in competitive state and district bands and orchestras as a percussionist throughout her adolescence. In pursuit of an analytically-driven liberal arts education, she attended Harvard College and graduated with a B.A. in Economics with a Music Secondary. At Harvard, Raven was the Director of Arts and Entertainment for the College Events Board, and there, she created new annual concerts and arts-based traditions for the undergraduate student body and developed a strong interest and appreciation for forms of art besides music.
Additionally, Raven has interned with the management firm that represents Harry Connick Jr. and Branford Marsalis, helped artists in Boston book concerts and engage with their fans, and most recently assisted the head of the Music Crossover department at United Talent Agency. Melding her passion for the arts, appreciation for artists, and attentiveness to social and economic forces, she is committed to improving how artists and art can interface with their broader community.
