Advait Ranganathan

Audio engineer/student

I'm an audio engineer, producer, and composer with 4 years of industry and grassroots experience with 500+ artist clients and over a dozen nonprofit partners! I'm a freshman in B.S of economics at Purdue University with a concentration in management and economics systems.

I enjoy researching the intersection of music and economics, studying label payouts and artist-streaming relations to better put power back into artists' hands. I hope one day to create and manage communities of talent to grow the next generation of industry-aware creatives. I'm hungry to work and learn new things about the industry that surrounds me and am constantly looking for more opportunities to grow as an innovator and artist. 

My team of audio engineers, producers, graphic designers, marketers, and coders at Bay Area Collective has focused our skills on helping those without equal access to professional equipment and creative resources. Recently we've been interested in relationships between sustainability and streaming services, eager to learn more about how we can make a positive impact with our passions.

I'm working to establish myself as an artist within the underground music scene with my hand in several projects, even releasing a few on my own. My latest release Creme Brulee amassed 17,000 streams with several placements.

I'm published in several places and have worked on a pending grammy-nominated contemporary album.
