Biography

Erik Kadar

Hi, I’m Erik Kadar—a multimedia storyteller with a passion for film, music, and digital content creation. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Information, focusing on Film and Media Production. While at MSU, I gained hands-on experience in broadcast television through my work at WKR-PBS, where I worked as a camera operator, production assistant, and associate producer.

After college, I joined Google as a Trust and Safety Analyst, where I worked from 2020 to 2022. During that time, I also took on a 20% role as an Account Manager for the Walt Disney Corporation, setting up and managing YouTube ad campaigns for some of their major properties.

At the same time, I launched my music career as an independent artist—writing and releasing multiple EPs, performing at rap showcases in Detroit and Cleveland, and producing my own music videos. That creative drive continues today as I produce original content across several YouTube channels and pursue freelance acting opportunities.

Whether it’s behind the camera, on stage, or in front of the lens, I’m always looking for new ways to tell stories and bring creative visions to life.
