Ron Wikso, Co-Founder

More than 25-years of experience in the music industry as a member of Foreigner, working with Cher, Dave Lee Roth, Gregg Rolie, Richie Sambora and many many others.

"After more than two years of brainstorming and planning, Art and I had SO many business concepts that it was time to incorporate a business. The music industry is broken. I see so many opportunities for bands and other creative people. I just want to help make some of these things happen!" - Ron Wikso

Art Edstrom, Co-Founder

More than 25-years of experience in business worldwide, serial entrepreneur, Harvard Business School OPM graduate and music enthusiast. Grew up in Wisconsin on a chinchilla ranch, seriously.

"Met Ron through a Google search. Was looking for a pro producer/musician to help me with some original songs. I’d been in bands regionally in the Midwest while in college. A decade later, wanted to work with a professional. Ron was based in LA. We totally hit it off. We got together while I was in LA on business (Biotech stuff). Ron explained how the music industry is broken. I could tell he was smart. Fast forward 5-years and we started a business as friends and equals. We’re committed to disrupting a huge industry!" - Art Edstrom
