ACE ANTONIO

I was a 19 year old, undeclared college student on academic probation when I attended my first music festival: the 2011 Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas.

Two days later, when my ears stopped ringing and my head stopped hurting, I realized that lingering sense of excitement and awe was a calling: to produce unforgettable experiences that invoke wonder, foster connection and create lasting memories.

This was the start of an ongoing professional (and very much personal) journey that would weave me in and around the world of live entertainment, into the music industry as the youngest director at a record label, a stint in local television, and the overseeing of operations for one of the largest college festivals in North America.

My passion for live events would evolve to include a passion for storytelling, visual media and human connection. In 2018, I began creating content for live event professionals, music festival enthusiasts and the EDM community. I would go on to collaborate with some of the biggest brands in events, apparel and CPG; execute a nationwide social media campaign for Season 2 of Netflix’s “13 Reasons Why” and leverage my personal audience as a digital creator to garner over 8.5 million views across all platforms.

I create moments. I tell stories. I forge partnerships that work and give people the opportunity to make treasured memories with new connections. Sometimes that looks like a concert, sometimes that looks like a podcast, sometimes that looks like moderating a Q&A with electronic artist Gryffin or Nickelodeon’s Josh Peck. I don’t put myself in a box. The best experiences can’t be contained in one. This work is complex, layered, and exhilarating, and I absolutely love it.

This portfolio captures some of my favorite roles and experiences across 15 years as a live experience producer and 7 years as a digital creator. Before you keep scrolling, I just want to say: thanks for being here, and enjoy.
