Legend Conversations
I ran artist relations and show production for Legends Conversation (2021-2024), a dinner and interview series bringing hip hop and house music legends into rooms with Chicago's audience. My role covered everything on-site: artist logistics, run of show, and the overall night.
Guests across the years included Raekwon, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Alchemist, DJ Clark Kent, Bub B, Just Blaze, A-Trek, DJ Premier, and Pete Rock.
