Olivia Bynum

Dedicated Pre-Law student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Theater and Entertainment Industry, with a consistent spot on the dean's list @ the University of Southern California. With diverse experience in Casting for high-profile entertainment companies, talent relations and management, and an in-depth shadowing experience in entertainment law. I am in a continuous pursuit to learn more about the entertainment industry
Who Am I?
This upbringing shaped my unique perspective: a deep appreciation for the creative process combined with a drive to champion artists from the business side. My professional experience reflects this duality. I've worked in music industry legal affairs, focusing on publishing rights and trademark protection, which gave me invaluable insight into the contracts and intellectual property considerations that protect creative work. Currently, I serve as a model scout, identifying emerging talent and understanding what it takes to build successful careers in a competitive industry.
Beyond entertainment, I have a passion for fashion that runs deep. I've organized Caribbean fashion shows, celebrating cultural expression through style, and I have hands-on experience with garment construction through sewing. This intersection of music, fashion, and visual arts informs my holistic approach to entertainment business—I understand that today's industry leaders need to think across disciplines, from casting and agency representation to public relations and brand partnerships.
My goal is to bridge the gap between creativity and commerce, ensuring that artists and creatives have the strategic support and representation they need to thrive. With roots in the artistic community, hands-on legal experience, and a track record of discovering and elevating talent, I'm positioned to contribute meaningfully to an industry I've always called home.
