Falling into September

Fall is back and it’s highkey bustling. This week alone is Fashion Week, The Met Ball, and The VMAs in NYC. Concerts and art shows are happening all over the city. Even though we’re all navigating the Delta variant, it’s tough to not want to go out and touch the town. Last night’s opening of […]

Greetings from Martha’s Vineyard

Greetings from Martha’s Vineyard. My family and I have come here for 13 summers straight. It’s a great time of year to recharge, regroup, and reset. I’m feeling refreshed headed into the new season and there is no question New York will reclaim “place to be” status this September. Over the break, I had the […]

The Return of Aaliyah and De La

It’s an exciting time for the music business. Even in these dog days of summer when things are certainly slowing down, moves are being made. Last week it was announced that both Aaliyah & De La Soul’s catalogs would be added to the streaming services; Aaliyah’s this week and De La’s to follow now that […]

New York’s Watercooler Moment

The aftermath of last week’s Verzuz battle continues to be a thrill. The showdown between The Lox and Dipset has the whole industry buzzing. Even though everyone wins with Verzuz, especially the culture. Jadakiss took control of the evening from the start and won big. I was inspired by Jada’s level of preparation and focus. […]

Rethinking Reopening

Although Lollapalooza looked like the place to be this weekend, I didn’t experience any FOMO from afar.

Going into the summer, I was feeling optimistic about […]

Space Jammin’

It’s exciting to see our generation’s greatest living entrepreneurs racing into space. This past weekend, Virgin CEO, Richard Brandon, became the first billionaire founder of a space company to go to space on his own spacecraft when he launched the VSS Unity at three times the speed of sound. Elon Musk, whose Space X program […]

Hot Court Summer 🎾 🔥

A long time ago, I made a commitment to myself that, when it comes to sports, I would not be a jack of all trades. My plan was to focus my athletic energy on the one sport I’d have the best shot at playing well for a long period of time. I know sports and […]

We’re halfway through 2021, and what a wild ride it’s been. The long 4th of July weekend is upon us, which means it’s time to drop our annual Summer Mixtape! If you know me, you know I love mixtapes. I’ve been making them for decades. The fun part of the playlist era is they’re now […]

Are VCs the New A&Rs?

Are VC’s the New A&R’s? One of the more dynamic and exciting roles played in modern culture is that of the Venture Capitalist. Finance is becoming “cool” and relevant in ways it hasn’t been before.
