ASMAC Mentorship Program 2025 Participants

The American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers is excited to announce the 2025 ASMAC Mentorship Program mentors and mentees. Welcome to this session’s participants.

An amazing pool of applicants applied for the ASMAC Mentorship Program from all around the world, including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, and across the United States of America. We wish we could have matched everyone to a mentor. For this cohort, the match was limited to six mentors.

For all of the applicants, on 26 June 2025, we hosted a event with Mentorship Program Chair Nami Melumad on Getting Work and Making It Work. Mentorship meetings started in July 2025. All applicants were also able to watch the 2024 Business of Music event with Jeannie Gayle Pool & Dave Black. We will also be hosting a social mixer for the cohort, soon.

Here is our list of selected mentor—mentee matches:

• Nathan Barr — Jessica Jarvis
• Bill Boston — Geronimo Mercado
• Heather McIntosh — Andreu Diport
• Andrew Kesler — Gus Drennan
• Mark Isham — Annette Johnson
• Austin Wintory — Lidia Pozo

Thanks to the Mentorship Committee for all of their work:

• Nami Melumad — Mentorship Committee Chair
• Dave Black
• Chuck Fernandez
• John Hinchey
• Jeff Kellem
• Milton Nelson

And great thanks to all the mentors!
