Founder/Ceo
CurrentProximity is the largest online curator and tastemaker for Pop/Dance music. With roughly ~9M subscribers and 4B views, Proximity is one of the largest channels on YouTube overall. The platform helped give rise to artists such as DJ Snake, Galantis, Illenium, Audien, and more. In 2017, Proximity started an independent record label to offer more favorable deals and splits to the artists while providing more marketing support than they would at major record labels. Proximity has also created a series of live events in partnership with Hakkasan/Omnia Group in Las Vegas on their marquee calendar dates with their residency artists: Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Martin Garrix, Zedd, Steve Aoki & more. In addition, Proximity has launched Digital Mirage - the first ever 3 day online music festival with over 50 artists, helping raise almost half a million dollars to multiple charity partners. With over 200,000 concurrent viewers, Digital Mirage is still one of the top online festivals rivaling the Insomniac & Tomorrowlands of the world.Proximity has expanded in to the eSports/gaming world by licensing it's independent catalogue to video game publishers as well as allowing its entire catalogue to be used freely on streams without getting DMCA copyright claims.
