Whether laying down tracks or running on one, fourth-year student Claire Frazier Bolton has made her mark at the University of Virginia.

The aspiring artist got her first taste of the music business while still in high school, when record label scouts came calling. Now after balancing being a student-athlete and a musician, she’s looking to take her experience and expertise to a career behind the scenes in the music industry.
