America’s Return to Normalcy

I can’t begin to describe how excited I am to get back out there and experience live music again. When I was a talent agent, I would hit up at least five shows a week and sometimes three in a night. Our agency was arranging 50+ gigs per weekend in the Spring and Fall college […]

The Museum of NFT

Have you been to a museum recently? A few weeks back, I was lucky enough to see the KAWS exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, which documents his remarkable rise. KAWS is an artist that epitomizes how to break into the art world “through the kitchen.” As a graffiti artist, he created his buzz and demand […]

NFT Mania

When it comes to the world of Crypto x Music, it really is the wild, wild west out here. I haven’t seen something so exciting, so explosive, so disruptive, and so dangerous since the early days of Napster. NFT mania is dominating culture. It’s a perfect storm of timing, technology, and circumstance, leading to rapid, […]

Grammys Weekend Again? Yawn.

This weekend is the music industry’s biggest weekend. Or is it? Do people really care about The Grammys right now? They certainly didn’t care about the Golden Globes. All of the typical tentpole moments in cultural marketing (NBA All-Star Weekend, SXSW) feel like one long Blurrrrrrrsday. It’s almost impossible to make these events connect without a […]

NFT Music Boom

We are living in a historic time of transformation.The art and music world is changing before our eyes thanks to the potential of NFTs and social tokens. It’s a massive boom that is paving new roads and rewriting the rules. The blockchain is proving to be a truly disruptive and innovative way to track payments, […]

The Future Of Brand Partnerships in Music

The first notable brand partnership in music was forged in 1964 between the Rolling Stones and Rice Krispies following the meteoric rise of television. The 1980’s brought the first mega-deals, with Pepsi’s endorsement of Michael Jackson leading the way. But until recently, brand partnerships were considered taboo in music. Now, instead of being seen as […]

A New Type of CEO

Last week, I published an article in AdAge on why brands need a chief entertainment officer. I’m glad to see it resonating with many of my peers. The truth is, even though this role doesn’t exist within many companies yet, it’s crucial that companies and their executives start thinking more along these lines. The entertainment […]

Music Moments of Super Bowl LV 🏈🎶

Super Bowl LV weekend has passed. This one was definitely different. I wasn’t chancing it at a Super Spreader Sunday event. We are nearing the end of this thing and it would be a shame to get Covid now. I’m imagining a magical Summer and “the new normal” soon thereafter. Watching from the comfort of […]

The Memes of Wall Street

The most exciting thing in culture this week is…the stock market? It’s obviously more complicated than “Reddit is wreaking havoc on Wall Street,” but it’s also true. There has been major disruption in the finance industry thanks to a relatively small group of savvy users who discovered weaknesses in the market and exploited them using […]

Tech’s Newest Unicorn 🦄

One of the biggest success stories of the pandemic has been an app called Clubhouse. Clubhouse, which officially launched in February 2020, took off in late Spring and has since become the place to hangout, network, and connect. All day and night there are conversations taking place on a wide range of topics from crypto […]

The HeART & Soul of 🇺🇸

Welp, well made it to Inauguration Day. President Biden has declared his top priorities to be Covid, Covid, and Covid! He has vowed to deliver 100 million vaccines in his first 100 days. I’m hopeful that an expedited, coherent vaccine rollout will take place in America and that herd immunity will be achieved by year’s […]
