  • Starting at a young age, Debbie has been living and breathing music. With a vast background of being a multi-instrumentalist and a passion for tech and for being an entrepreneur,  they have experienced a bit of everything to propel them to where they are now. As a sound engineer by trade, they’ve dived deep in all forms of art as well. 

    Being able to work with different artists and clients, Debbie has a knack for translating wants and needs to make sure everyone’s goals are being pursued. Working for multiple big tech companies, they have learned corporate life is not for everyone. 

    Fun Fact: You can usually find Debbie with their super shadow pup, Taz, following behind.

  • Growing up, Chris always thought the life ahead was going into the corporate and working a 9 to 5. Little did he know, his love for music and entrepreneur mindset took him in a completely different direction.  Although not musically trained, Chris’ love for lyrical composition took form during his middle school years.   

    Fast forward to college, Chris took some time off from SJSU to begin his journey in the music industry interning at Interscope Records.  After finishing two internships at Interscope Chris eventually finished up at SJSU and ventured off into the corporate world.  It didn’t take long for Chris to realize that the music industry and entrepreneurship had his heart.  Chris eventually left the Bay Area for Chicago and opened up a recording studio which housed many acclaimed artists.

    After being in the industry for so many years and in a variety of roles amongst artists, you think that Chris would have sprinted… okay walked briskly… out that exit door when given the opportunity.  Instead, he is taking his experience and doubling down. Hoping to help artists take their music to the next level!

    Fun Fact: even tho he’s a Leo, Chris hate talking about himself… especially in the 3rd person!
