Highly advertorialized article about a television advertising producer, not properly referenced as clearing our notability standards for that career. The notability claim here basically boils down to claims that he won awards, but every award that exists is not always an automatic WP:ANYBIO freebie that exempts a person from having to clear WP:GNG on the sources -- the difference between an award that counts as a notability-maker for its winners and an award that does not hinges specifically on whether that award gets media coverage about the award presentation or not. An award whose ceremony gets reported by the media as news makes its winners notable; an award that can be referenced only to the awarding organization's self-published press release, because media coverage about it is non-existent, does not. But this entire article is referenced only to an award organization's press release, and everything else in it is personal information added by the subject himself with no sources for any of it. Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform for people to write about themselves in an advertorialized way; it is an encyclopedia, where notability requires real reliable and independent sources.

 * Delete. We've been over this many times: producers are almost never notable, and adjuncts are neither. Of course, a producer could be come notable for the length of their career, significant coverage in reliable sources such as unpaid coverage in Variety, winning a Grammy, or cutting-edge work, but that's all missing here. Producers, lawyers, and agents often work side by side with famous singers and musicians, but notability is not inherited from their co-workers. Finally, producing a work at the Venice Biennial is not automatically a "gimme" - it's a huge art show over more than a month and often involves thousands of artists; I'd include it as a reason for notability for an artist, but again it's a footnote.
