🎶🌞🚴🏼‍♂️🌻🍉🍹🌊🏄🏼‍♂️🎢🎶

Dear Summer, welcome back! It’s wonderful and very rare to spend a chill holiday weekend at home. I was supposed to head out east but after plans changed I got the chance to have a little staycation here in New York. I forgot how much I love The City on a holiday weekend. Amongst other […]

Voice Recognition Technology

Here at Nue one of the emerging sectors in culture that we are most bullish on is the utilization of voice recognition technology and digital audio. Everyone knows about smart speakers at this point. Over 40 million people in the US now have them and quite clearly it’s an arms race with Google, Apple and […]

Tchau For Now

I’m lucky enough to live and work in the greatest city in the world. In case you can’t tell, I am madly in love with the concrete jungle. The non-stop energy of NYC is contagious. Our sidewalks are runways, our hometown pride is unmatched and our people truly have the biggest hearts. It is especially […]

Stationhead, Our Favorite New Music Tech Company!

About 10 years ago, when I first moved back to New York from a 2.5 year stint in LA, I wanted to re-acclimate myself in the scene. I was a big believer that tech in many ways was going to be the savior to the music business and therefore wanted to immerse myself in the […]

Kanye […]

Blockchain? More Like Rockchain

AdAge asked me to write an Op-Ed for their Music Issue that went live this past week and I decided to cover Blockchain, one of the most interesting topics of 2018. Music has always been a leader in culture. Not only through artists (the most dynamic and charismatic creatives you can imagine), but with the […]

The 420 Green Rush

This week marks a notable day that was vitality important to me back in the day. Now all of these years later, it’s back on my radar in spades. The holiday is 420. Nue keeps its eyes and ears open to some extremely BIG growth areas. We have always been on the mark when it […]

Level Up with Music 📈 🎵

On my constant quest for self-improvement, I headed to the Catskills this weekend for a retreat, as part of a program I’m doing: Level Up. Level Up is a 3 month continuation of a weekend program I did last year called Camera Ready run by the TRL famed Quddus and his fiancé Carmina. I met […]

Spotify Goes Public This AM

Spotify goes public this AM. How much the shares will open & close at is anybody’s guess at this point? I personally think it could be a turbulent day for our big, green friends. It’s a complicated and extremely savvy method of getting the stock on the public exchange and ultimately allowing their investors to […]

It’s a huge moment for Spotify’s founding team, and perhaps an even bigger moment for all of us in the music industry.
