Danielle Reiss is a Music Publicist and Music Business Masters student at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. She moved to Nashville, TN in 2016 to pursue her dream to work in the music industry with no job and no college lined up. Since then, she's been able to work numerous internships and gather experience in the industry. In September of 2020, she got a job at the Pop-Off Agency, and a few weeks later got fired for going to a rally for President Donald Trump. I'm excited to share her story and her journey through the music business.
