SHANE MAURELLI

PROFILE

I can assure you there is no one quite like me. At age nine, I realized I had a sixth sense for spotting talent, predicting the success of stars like Ariana Grande or Jace Norman. Now a music publicist specializing in promotion and social media strategy with a goal of diversifying the industry, I am eager to apply my strategic mindset to innovative music campaigns.

(P.S. Get to know me and my recent Romanian and dance-pop music obsessions through my Last.fm)
