music industry, statistics & data science student | future music lawyer | singer | songwriter
Hi! My name is Elena, and I am a fourth-year student at UCLA studying music industry and statistics & data science. I am originally from Akron, Ohio! I started singing at age five and songwriting and producing at twelve. Through making my own music in middle school and high school, I fell in love with process of making records. When I self-released my debut EP, I discovered my passion for the business side of music.
In my undergraduate studies, I have combined my deep interest in music with my analytical nature and love of mathematics. While I have loved learning about all aspects of the music industry, I am especally drawn to recorded music, and I am interested in the applications of data analytics to A&R, marketing, and brand partnerships, as well as business & legal afairs. After graduating from UCLA, I plan to attend law school.

project samples
In past projects, I have loved researching and leveraging streaming data and audience demographics to inform my decisions, whether the project involves pitching an artist or proposing a marketing plan to best connect an artist with their current or potential audience.
cherry pop records
Last year, I helped kickstart the organization by drafting our first recording agreement and working with our A&R team to sign our first 5 artists. These artists each contributed tracks to Cherry Pop Vol. 1, our first compilation album. I managed the logistics for this recording project, including handling digital distribution and ensuring our team members across departments met all deadlines.
As president, I work alongside an all-women executive board to continue my work ensuring the label operates smoothly and focusing on bringing talent and opportunities for expansion to our organization.
