Jack Landess

I’m Jack Landess, a senior at Belmont University studying Music Business with a production emphasis. With six years of hands-on experience in music production, orchestration, and artist collaboration, I specialize in bringing creative visions to life—both technically and emotionally. My work has led to over 2 million streams across platforms and includes producing EPs, original scores for short films, and sync-ready tracks recorded abroad.

Beyond the studio, I have a growing passion for the business and administrative backbone of the music industry. My internships with Lightning 100 and Nashville Christian Songwriters have given me insight into copyright, publishing, digital marketing, and content strategy. Whether I’m mixing a track or analyzing metadata, I approach every project with curiosity, creativity, and a deep respect for the power of music to connect and move people.

Let’s connect—I’m always open to learning more, collaborating, and contributing to the future of the music industry.

My time at Belmont University has been a dynamic blend of academic learning and real-world application, centered around my major in Music Business (Production). Set to graduate in May 2025 with a 3.7 GPA and consistent Dean’s List honors, I’ve immersed myself in both the business and creative sides of the music industry.

Belmont's curriculum has given me a solid foundation in audio production, intellectual property, marketing, and international music business. Courses like Master Production, DAW Production, Copyright Law, and Strategic Management have not only equipped me with technical knowledge but also taught me how to think critically and adapt in a fast-paced, ever-evolving industry.

Outside the classroom, I took full advantage of opportunities to gain hands-on experience. Through internships with Lightning 100 and Nashville Christian Songwriters, I’ve developed skills in video editing, social media management, podcasting, and audio engineering. These roles deepened my understanding of the inner workings of the music and media landscape.

My education also complemented my passion projects. During my time at Belmont, I produced two EPs, composed orchestral scores for student films, and built a streaming portfolio of over two million plays. These creative projects were often born from skills I was developing in class, making my academic journey one of constant real-world application and growth.
