I cold-called Russell back in 2008 and sold him/Extreme a stake in my catalog called BurstLabs which became the Mixtape series on their site. Ended up producing the next three years of Mixtape releases for them before selling them the remaining portion of my catalog and launched my new venture The License Lab in 2011. Ah, memories... good times! Grateful for my time with the Extreme crew.

Such a lucky start, in terms of timing and financing, no doubt hard work and knowhow but what a lucky break with that starting budget and open-minded supporter in Camdentown! Russell is a straightup guy, a visionary, and an honest inspirational figure.

@@SyncMyMusic Just by embracing it as it comes and trying to be one of the first. AI has enhanced my creativity in ways unthought of. I love the music I’m creating with AI, and I can’t get enough! The fact that I’m able to add music and voices to my lyrics the way I want, discovering new ideas, is fulfilling and gives me the opportunity and tools necessary to break those barriers that once held me back!
