my name is michael couse.
i grew up in a very small town in northern indiana.
once i finished high school, i took off to australia for a year and worked with a non-profit organization called youth with a mission. i primarily worked with the aboriginal youth of australia; spending time with them in and out of school, organizing various events for the kids.
upon returning to the states i decided to go to school.
i went to indiana wesleyan university and finished my associates degree in business administration in may of 07.
once i graduated, i headed to los angeles to be a part of a new music/media mentoring program called green light go. through the program i was connected with an extremely talented los angeles band called the daylights. i began volunteering for the guys by going on tour with them and lending a helping hand.
soon after the guys were asked to head out as the supporting act for one republic on their us tour.
knowing of my passion to work in the music industry, the band asked me to tour manage for them. i gladly accepted and the tour was a great success.
i have recently relocated to nashville, where i am pursuing a career in the music industry. i am very passionate about people experiencing creativity through quality music, media, and art.
