Background

About Sam Ogrady

Young man from Indianapolis, IN, looking to leave the world of minimum wage restaurant work and retail for something more fulfilling and better paying. At every job I've taken, from sales, service work, and cleaning work, I've shown an intense value in diligence, efficiency, and teamwork. If I'm going to take on any job or career, it only makes sense to do the best that I can. I'm a quick learner in every regard yet I also ask questions when needed to make sure that what I'm doing is correct. While the majority of my work history has been occupied by restaurant work, I've also had jobs at a bookstore (Barnes & Noble), a movie theater (Landmark Theaters), and a musical retail chain (Sam Ash). Outside of work, I've made studying music and music production my primary focus with a secondary focus in writing, art criticism, and essays. My love for art in all forms (music, film, literature, paintings, etc.) has led me to studying media from an anthropological and sociological perspective; exploring the value of art and trying to open discussion amongst my peers. To this end, I wrote a blog during the early stages of lockdown in 2020 called Quarantunes where I'd share my thoughts on albums and artists; I've started two podcasts discussing music either by myself or with friends; I've spent years as a musician and member of local bands on a variety of instruments. To this end, I'm most excited to pursue a career in the music industry or perhaps a career in music journalism.
