He's the co-founder of Heroic, a label and management agency. Instructor of the Music Marketing Academy, and author of the Soundcloud Bible. He's taken guys like WRLD and San Holo to a new level through his management expertise, and helped empower many more creators, which is at the heart of his vision and mission as an entrepreneur.
