Scarborough,ON

Summary

As a resourceful self-starter and independent Jazz artist, I’ve developed a plethora of experience and transferable skills in the creative industry. I started off producing my own music in 2012, booking my own performances in my hometown (Montreal,Qc), curating a campus radio show and then producing my own tour to perform with my band in Canada, the US and Europe.


I'm also responsible for content creation and distribution for social media platforms, public relations and marketing for my music brand. I developed a mobile application called the “Aliah Guerra” app. I was invited to share my experience on multiple news broadcasting stations such as CBC Radio, CTV News and Global News.


I have since been extending my to my music, media, and management skills to other companies and organizations. I have always excelled the most when being creative or working in a creative space, my goal is to find a career path where I can thrive creatively, learn more and grow as a creative in the industry.
