Annie Acosta

I am entering my fourth year studying Communications at DePaul University. I have worked in customer service-based part-time jobs for about three years, but my passion lies in the music business. I have gained knowledge and experience in festival operations, booking, and venue operations. Through this work, I have become well-versed in my communication and organizational skills. I have also learned to work in teams and independently.

Mistress

As of January 2025 I have been part of a musical project under the name Mistress. We are a group of four consisting of a drummer, bassist, lead guitarist, and singer. We collaborate on songwriting which, so far, has mainly been in the indie-rock genre. I am the lead singer of the band, run our social media accounts, and am actively seeking performance opportunities on behalf of the band.

April Fool Radio on Radio DePaul

I am one half of the radio show April Fool Radio, started by my roommate and best friend Abby Thompson. We work together to pick a theme for the weekly show and curate a playlist. The show focuses on our favorite artists, established and new, as well as our personal experiences with music and the music business.

Music Director of Take Note a Cappella

I was recently elected to be the official music director of my treble a cappella group, Take Note. While it has not been my official role during my time in the group, I have assisted with arrangements in the past and even made some on my own. We are a self-run, self-funded group so all of our arrangements are original.
