ETHAN KART
Young professional with an unmatched love and passion for the music industry.
GET TO KNOW ME
Ever since I was about 12 years old, I knew there would never be anything in my life that I would find myself as passionate about as music. Growing up in a family of music-lovers and as the son of a drummer, I learned very early on just how special music was. After spending my first two years of college thinking I wanted to go into music journalism, I eventually made the switch to advertising and decided I wanted to pursue music marketing. Within a year I had acquired a digital marketing job at my dream company, Universal Music Group in the eCommerce and Label Services branch (formerly known as Fame House), while still having my senior year ahead of me. Having the opportunity to thrust myself into the industry I spent my whole life hoping to break into, but not knowing if it would ever be possible, let alone having my first job ever be at the world's biggest music company, has been a life-changing experience. I truly hope to work in music for the rest of my life and will work to keep up this momentum and continue expanding my skills.
​
Outside of the realm of work and school, I enjoy (you're in for a shock) listening to music, seeing live shows, going to the beach, playing video games, and spending time with friends.
