Hello, I'm KC Raniero.
I am a multidisciplinary educator, performer, and creative consultant who works at the intersection of music, entrepreneurship, communication, and personal development. As a musician, I am a classically trained singer who has performed at venues including the Apollo Theater in New York and Sinfonia Smith Square in London. I have collaborated with musicians including Josh Groban’s principal Madison Square Garden cellist and Elisabeth von Trapp. My students have included musicians from institutions such as Juilliard School and University of California, Los Angeles. I teach voice, piano, songwriting, music production, and audition preparation, drawing on both classical training and real-world performance experience. I have worked with artists from American Idol, The Voice, and The Recording Academy. Beyond music, I teach entrepreneurship, creative career strategy, and public speaking. I hold a degree in Communications & Social Impact with a concentration in Entrepreneurship from Temple University, a Creativity & Entrepreneurship certificate from Berklee College of Music’s BerkleeX program, and a TESOL/TEFL certification. I am the founder of the not-for-profit organization The Atlantis Collective, creator of the music festival Unity Fest, and a former founding partner of the ed-tech platform PIVODIO, which connects music industry professionals with student musicians for remote mentorship. At PIVODIO, I oversaw a roster featuring artists whose credits included Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey, Neil Young, David Guetta, Brandy, Chaka Khan, Foo Fighters, Marvel, and Star Wars. I specialize in digital growth hacking, having scaled a digital audience by 1,361% in 24 hours and by 3,675% within 7 days. I also support students in college admissions, executive functioning, time management, and academic writing. I have worked in student mentorship roles at Temple University’s Wellness Resource Center, provided direct support services to young adults with special needs, and currently tutor through TutorMe Education and Poly English. I also serve as a standardized test scorer for Measurement Incorporated, giving me unique insight into testing and academic evaluation. My writing has appeared in The New York Times and BroadwayWorld, and my creative work includes plays staged in London and New York as well as internationally published poetry. My previous clients include the 38th Director of the United State Mint and the Founder/CEO of Wolven, as endorsed by Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens. I am a former Imperial College London Student Union Member. Having minored in World Religions, I bring a global perspective to my work.
