PROPER HOTELS Proper Presents was created to position Proper Hotels as cultural destinations, using music to transform beautifully designed spaces into platforms for creativity, community and discovery.
I support this vision by developing intimate, design-forward and culturally relevant lineups with artists who feel distinctive, current and effortlessly cool. The programming is groove-forward, soulful and atmospheric—designed to complement golden hour and evolve naturally into a refined nighttime energy. We prioritize artists with genuine momentum and a clear point of view, creating experiences that feel dynamic without becoming predictable or overly commercial.
At Santa Monica Proper, I help develop seasonal winter and summer programming. I also curate artist opportunities around major cultural moments, including Billboard Music x Montauk Yacht Club, ACL at Austin Proper, Ultra Music Festival at The Shelborne by Proper in Miami, and Portola at San Francisco Proper. Beyond a single performance, we aim to become a valuable partner in an artist’s promotional journey or touring strategy, creating intimate appearances around festival dates and key market moments.
The audience brings together creatives, tastemakers, hotel guests, Proper Club members and cultural leaders across entertainment, fashion, art, travel and hospitality—creating the kind of engaged, influential room that delivers value for both the property and the artist.
