With 16 years of experience in the music and entertainment industry, I, Brian, also known as Hypnautic, am the co-founder and COO of Qoncert INC., a Techstars-backed company promoting live shows for emerging artists. After spending many years as a full-time artist, I bootstrapped my businesses, leveraging creative insights to drive viral campaigns and grow artists' fan bases and earnings. As co-founder of a marketing agency, I developed social strategies for clients like TGS, connecting them more deeply with culture and community before their $100 million acquisition. Today, my agency works closely with From The Heart Foundation, a nonprofit focused on suicide prevention, gun violence prevention, mental health, and youth education through entertainment. At Qoncert, I oversee operations, strategy, and foster relationships with artists, venues, and sponsors. My experience as a songwriter and performer with Top Flite Empire enriches the tailored support we provide to our clientele.
