SXSW 2012

CEO & Founder
RootMusic
J is the CEO & Founder of RootMusic.com which makes the #1 Music app on Facebook called "BandPage". He was recently named to both Forbes and Billboard's 30 Under 30 in 2011. He is a musician and music lover at heart. Most of his knowledge about the music industry was gained after getting into the business of music managing bands and venues around the country. This experience opened his eyes to the practical needs of the music community in the digital era, and the lack of a solution. Out of this realization J founded RootMusic.com to provide an honest, social tool to help musicians take the next step, whether that is their first open mic, or on the big stage. J believes that technology is an art not just a product. Striving to build technology that effects people as deeply as music can. Follow on Twitter: @RootMusic / @JSider
