“Marni is well-known in the independent music community, well-respected, and knowledgeable. In June 2022, she presented on an A2IM Indie Week panel…focused on building and sustaining supportive work environments and mental health best practices in a work setting. Marni’s input on the panel was stellar and the information she shared was extremely topical, relatable, and actionable. The demand to see this panel, both in person and virtually, was huge….To say this panel was well-received is an understatement.”

heryl Cohen | Head of Strategic Planning, A2IM (American Association of Independent Music)
“Marni has led outstanding panels on mental health and wellness at the first three editions of The New Colossus Festival. She has helped countless artists and industry professionals navigate the stresses and pressures of the music industry. Her insights into the challenges that artists face in the music industry are incredibly valuable, and her willingness to share her own experiences makes her relatable and approachable. Marni's passion for helping others is evident in everything she does, and I would highly recommend her for any speaking engagements and leadership or coaching opportunities.”

Mike Bell | Co-founder, The New Colossus Festival
“Marni's panel on holistic stress management and burnout prevention at the [Canadian] Indie Week conference was well-received by attendees, and her ability to connect with them was remarkable. Her presentation was engaging and informative, providing practical tips and strategies that resonated with our audience. What impressed me the most was her empathy and compassion, which were palpable in her responses to attendees' questions. We're grateful for her valuable contribution to Indie Week and look forward to working with her again in the future."
