In 2016, I co-founded Rapture Music Festival, which has been a pivotal moment in my life and the biggest production I've been a part of. For two consecutive years the festival had exponentially grown, gathering over 10,000 people and reaching critical and artists' acclaim.
The festival was not just about the music, but the experience and ideology of what this brand stood for. People gathered to celebrate nature, heal and learn at the wellness center, be transported by incredible artists, and create art together, all the while caring for the future of our planet. At the time when this concept came together, there wasn't anything like it.
The concept of a multifaceted brand to me is always above a singular idea, because it can evolve in so many directions, while others' time will fade as soon as the trend they caught onto disappears.

Since 2016, I've been organizing and coordinating international artist tours with venues ranging from 1000 - 3000 in capacity. The concept is to sign International artists and produce concerts/comedy shows throughout US and Canada in appropriate venues, while heavily marketing the events to potential ticket-buyers. I have 50 such concerts under my belt.
Tours are heavy in logistics and require an incredible planning skills in order to connect available dates at venues with preferable tour plans. as well as individual attention in each city, especially when it comes to marketing.
At all the concerts, I have been both the organizer and the person that actually went on tour and travelled with the artist. During the tour, I'd fly out on the earliest plane to the next city, checked in hotels, organized sound checks, and oversaw logistical operations.
The largest tour that I've coordinated was Revva & Galoustyan 2019, which was 16 shows over a period of a month and the largest concert was Basta in Terminal 5 (3,000 attendees).
