Stephen Canfield began his career in the music industry like many have – as a musician obsessed with great songwriters and loud rock shows. He played in multiple touring bands while attending Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business and later went on to study guitar and Music Business/Management at Berklee College of Music. Upon graduating, Canfield chose to pursue off-stage talents and began working for music tech start-up Sonicbids. He led its music marketing and advertising division and served on the company’s executive team before sunny skies came calling and he was recruited to join the Culture Marketing team at Red Bull’s North American HQ in LA. He now leads Red Bull Sound Select, a global artist development and lifestyle marketing program. Red Bull Sound Select supports artists and fans through a network of over 40 curators, 200 local shows and festivals, branded events at major moments like SXSW, and 30 Days in LA, a month-long music experience incorporating over 60 artists in 30 different venues each November. He lives in Santa Monica with his wife and dog Emmy – who, yes, is named after Emmylou Harris. Specialties: Program Management / Brand Strategy / Entertainment Marketing / Events & Sponsorship / Business Development / Partnerships / General Management / P&L
