I'm a consultant for the music industry, working with emerging artists and labels on growth strategies and rights management. I also manage a label of my own, named 8D Industries — artists include Monta At Odds and More Ghost Than Man — and publish and license music under 8DSync. A few times a week I write about music's place in the 21st century at 8sided.blog. Oh, and sometimes I'm a Q-Burns Abstract Message. But mostly I'm just trying to keep these damn cats out of my office.
