The Founder

Hi, I’m Robby. I got my start in the music industry with Bethel Music in 2013. There, I served in several roles, helping them grow into what is now one of the largest indie music labels in Christian Music. For the last decade, I’ve helped mainstream and Christian indie artists share their work with millions of listeners all over the globe! Today, I work with artists just like you, helping them understand the ins and outs of the money, the contracts, the laws, and the registrations. I’m here to set you up for success with strategies that help you run your own music business.
