About Me

Good Evening Everyone,

My name Is Axel Aquino and I am a Corporate Communications Major with a minor in Japanese.  The reason why I have chosen this major is because my goal is to work for a major music label by the time I graduate Baruch College.  I am a very huge music enthusiast and would love to work in a field where my passion lies.  Eventually I plan to move up and become an A&R, or Artist and Repertoire for those who aren't familiar with the term.  It entails scouting for new music and developing artists as well as serving as a direct link from the artist to the record label as well as handling negotiations, discovering songwriters and producers and reviewing demos.  I have also been audio engineering for several years and would like to attend school to develop this skill further.  Through out the years I have opened up to various types of music and have become very interested in the jazz genre as well as classical music.  I'm opened ended to any form of music and would gladly listen to it with an open mind.  Personally I'm very big on Hip Hop, I know there is a lot of negative connotations with this genre, but mainstream has polluted and tainted with this art is really about. Also, I love instrumentation and I'm fascinated by the sounds of the guitar, saxophone, violin, piano, drums and countless other instruments.  Eventually I would love to own my own label and recruit artists that truly have a passion for music and what it stands for.  I'm an advocate for good music and believe that good music will always be heard.  Thanks for taking the time out to read a little bit about me, if there is any questions don't hesitate to ask or make conversations about music.  Although I'm shy and quiet at first, I'm very amicable and laid back.
