Adam Farish8Stem, CEOAttracted to revolutionary concepts at the fringe of culture… I picked up guitar at age 12; hacked 386 PC’s to record multi-track at 44.1 at age 13; introduced to techno at 17; toured as a live P.A. shortly thereafter; signed to major labels by 19; hated the culture; transitioned to writing music only for myself and ditched the “music for the enjoyment of others” routine. I got married; moved to an island; bought a boutique hotel, but still manned the desk in the studio when interesting projects came along. I met my business partner, Bruce Pavitt, in 2003, and we spent the next 10 years talking about the future of music. In 2012, my executive staff at my business sat me down and said, “You do not appear to be enjoying your job and that is not likely to change.” Then… (wait for it)… “We’re going to pay you to go away and work on music, because that seems to be when you’re happiest.” I took that as a signal to start my next venture; where I would be surrounded by music all the time, and make it possible for others to do the same thing. The future of music Bruce and I talked about is here. It’s called 8Stem. And it’s going to revolutionize the industry.

Marcus HendersonChordify, Director of Entertainment Relations, Business DevelopmentHailing from the mystical hills in the valley of silicon, not terribly long ago a warrior was born of fire and video games, with the demigods of Father Iommi, Sir Van of Halen, Hammett the Fair, and the Lords Angus and Rhoads his guides. He rocked forth with much energy and thrash/punk-fueled joy, and the music gods were pleased!

Over the years, many local battles were faced, and the young warrior quickly grew into a highly capable audience slayer. For his efforts, he was duly rewarded with free crap from sponsors like Jagermeister, Gibson and various guitar equipment companies. The clapped hands of many fair lads and lasses echoed loudly in the pungent walls of our local stages, for these were the salad days of our young warriors tale… His services were soon dutifully sought after in the land of the north by the guilds of HellBillys, Drist, and even the covens of En Vogue, for the auditory spells casted by his heavily modified Stratocaster, and many successful local and global tours were completed as a hired swordsman for several excellent, but internationally ignored bands

But alas the time would come for him to raise his Iron alone for the cause of ridiculously awesome, guitar-based rock when the overlords of Activision bestowed upon him the cloak of responsibility for recording the music of the titans on the video game franchise, Guitar Hero. It was the fair year of our loud, 2006. Rock hath been reborn yet again!

5 Years, 6 huge games and some 50+ odd tracks later, the effort was wildly triumphant and our hero was honored with a permanent plaque in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame that accompanies the Gibson Flying V guitar used during the production of Guitar Hero 2. He designed one of the best-selling signature models in the Epiphone guitar line, The Apparition. Then, our warrior briefly rested. He had a son named Orion. He discovered and welcomed new challenges; namely, fatherhood! With a waning desire to leave his young brood, the Guitar Hero has chosen new paths that allow him to focus on his passions: Music, Technology and and the convergence of art, code and sound. He currently serves as the Director of Entertainment Relations/Business Development for Chordify, an online music service that transforms any song into chords.

Chris McMurtryDart Music, CEOChris McMurtry is an independent music artist, classical composer and former Apple technologist. He also founded an independent classical label. Though he loved helping out his fellow classical artists, he hated all the unnecessary hassles he had to overcome just to distribute their music. He knew from personal experience that artists in other genres had access to inexpensive, automated distribution platforms. In fact, many of these services had been around for over a decade.

So why was classical music still dependent upon distribution services that only enter music metadata by hand? Manual distribution is far too time-consuming, error-prone and expensive. Chris became so frustrated by the inequality of distribution options for classical artists that he finally had to fix the problem. So he created DartMusic.com, the first fully automated distribution platform built specifically for classical music. Unlike manual distribution services, Dart Music only charges a small flat fee. Artists keep 100% of their royalties.

Since its inception, Dart Music has been well-received. The company was chosen as one of eight startups for America’s first music tech accelerator program, Project Music. The company finished strong, raising $1.5 million. Since then, Dart Music has officially launched its platform. Additionally, they have collaborated with the Music Business Association to produce the industry’s first style guide for classical music metadata. However, the thing Chris is most proud of is Dart Music has finally provided a way for independent classical artists to get their music into online stores and streaming services.

Doug ScribnerWatchMyBit, CEO & Co-FounderDoug Scribner understands that people with creative, visual, audio, and writing abilities pour their heart and soul into their craft. Actors, comedians, writers, animators, musicians, and many others create hours and hours of entertainment. They do this because they have passion, a vision, a message, or just for fun.

And they starve.

A veteran Keyboard player of the Hollywood ‘pay to play’ racket, and an award winning commercial writer and producer, Doug wanted a way to bring content creators and their fans closer together in mutual support.

As an early adopter and investor in Bitcoin he realized that with blockchain technology there was finally a way. He co-founded and is CEO of WatchMyBit which allows artists to monetize their videos, easily receive micropayments (or any sized payment) from anywhere in the world, automatically split with the whole team in any percentage, and get daily or even more frequent payouts.

WatchMyBit and blockchain technology allows artists anywhere in the world –banked or unbanked– to directly receive support from fans and cash out to their local currency. Fans get a completely ad-free experience with the knowledge they are rewarding art, not ads. Follow on Twitter: @dougscrib / @watchmybit

There’s healthy. There’s tasty. Then there’s healthy and tasty. At KIND, we believe you deserve both—we call it our brAND philosophy. That’s why you’ll find all of our snacks are pretty much the nirvana of healthful tastiness. What began with just 8 bar varieties in 2004 has grown to over 22 bars and 6 Healthy Grains snackable clusters, and a multitude of new recipes being perfected and refined to our standards in the KIND kitchen. So whether your snacking style is choosy or adventurous (or a little bit of both), here’s something to celebrate: we’ll always be thinking up new ways to delight your taste buds and keep your body happy.

Established in San Francisco in 1993, Noise Pop is the leading independent music festival in the Bay Area. Over the last 21 years Noise Pop has provided exposure to some of the top emerging artists, many of who have gone on to widespread acclaim, including The White Stripes, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Bright Eyes and Yoko Ono. In 2006, Noise Pop began expanding the scope and presence of its established brand into year-round events (including the Treasure Island Music Festival) in the Bay Area and beyond that celebrate all forms of independent culture, music, film, art and merchandise to an ever expanding community.

Produced by Another Planet Entertainment and Noise Pop, Treasure Island Music Festival has grown to become one of the west coast’s most-loved festivals. With no overlapping sets, Bay Area cuisine, and the gorgeous, panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay serving as the festival’s backdrop, Treasure Island Music Festival is like no other festival experience in the country. When the festival began in 2007, it quickly became one of the premiere music events of the fall concert season thanks to its consistently fresh and exciting lineups, selling out year after year.
