Jamie Dominguez has spent nearly 25 years guiding and supporting music creators and future executives so they can navigate a complex industry and keep art thriving. Born in Chicago and raised in Dallas, Texas, she grew up in a home immersed in music, which quickly became an indelible part of her life.
Dominguez has a B.A. in journalism from the University of Texas, which allowed her to work jobs in radio and entertainment PR throughout college. While attending the SXSW Music Festival, she met an executive from SESAC, a U.S. performing rights organization, who offered her a job as his assistant. She accepted and moved to New York City in August 2001. Over the next 19 years, she grew within the organization, identifying, curating, and nurturing their extensive roster of songwriters and artists. As senior director of creative services, she led the New York–based creative services team in supporting and creating opportunities for SESAC-affiliated songwriters and publishers. She has also been instrumental in the curation of songwriting camps, music festival showcases, and other events in both the U.S. and the U.K.
Reflecting on her career, Dominguez views her role as that of a “creative sherpa” who provides mentorship that combines art and business. As a member of the Berklee NYC faculty, she hopes to shape the future of our music community by encouraging fair and equitable business practices while continuing to to live and breathe the creative energy of New York City.
