Selam/Wâciye/Hello!

My name is Ayse (pronounced eye/sheh) and I am a music industry worker, connector, and a cultural advisor. As a graduate of the Arts Management (Specialist) + Music and Culture programs at the University of Toronto as well as a New York University x Billboard Music Industry Essentials certificate holder, my professional experience in the Canadian music industry spans across marketing, education & outreach, artist management, publicity, press, research, brand strategy, content production, entrepreneurship, event management, and more.

My greatest passion lies in helping musicians and music entities succeed through a communal, strategic, and sound approach and I aim to help you in your musical journey in an accessible way and through a modern lens.

A few places I have worked with:

  • “I have had the opportunity to work with Ayse directly in a wide range of different capacities over four years and she particularly shines in roles where she is able to connect with artists, and promote their work. She's an arts manager at her core - a great listener, researcher, and advocate. She's someone any artist would be lucky to have in their corner.”

  • "Ayse is a great person to work with…Their role [for our mutual project] required strategy and smart solutions for the non-profit organization to market the event. All touch points were well done by Ayse and the team, with a significant cadence of organic social content which was diverse and compelling to help drive up engagement, as well as strategic social and search campaigns to help drive awareness and attendance, coupled with some key out of home and community marketing placements."
