Calei Castillo

About

Calei Castillo is a Filipinx creative, talent manager, and music industry professional from Chicago, IL. Recent graduate of Columbia College Chicago in Music Business with a focus in Artist Management, Calei has six counts of experience of successful talent management since beginning her career. From 2021 to 2023, she worked with 3 company’s (Uncommon Ground, Auris Presents, Stage 773 Whim Chicago) as marketing and communications associate, and is committed to using her skills to represent creatives through her own project, The Haus of Caliber. The Haus of Caliber specializes in event production, with two counts of successful production management. The first being 'Kapwa Chicago Showcase Volume 1', where a Calei Castillo & her colleague Jaeya Bayani spent eight months bringing together Filipino creatives of all industries to perform, connect, and network with each other at the Jose Rizal Center located here in Chicago. This was event sponsored by Topo Chico, Nguyen Coffee Supply, and Fly by Jing with support from Classick Studios, Pogi Studios, Christine King Marie, James Rumohr, and Lyle del Mundo of FACE. The second was a fashion show alongside fashion designer and Caliber talent, Olivia Byam of FUDAE Fashion, entitled 'FUSION' which brought together 10 students of the fashion studies department to show their work with 3-5 models each at one of the Columbia College Chicago event spaces. Production for this event only lasted two weeks. As a first-generation Filipino-American, my journey has been one of resilience and growth. These experiences have not only shaped my professional skills but have also inspired me to empower others. I am passionate about giving back to my communities and helping others achieve their fullest potential. I am eager to bring my background, work ethic, and determination to your company, where I can continue to grow and contribute to the success of your team.
