I'm Bacon, or Jeff [I will answer to either], thanks for stopping by
I help the world of business to better understand music, and music to do better business
I've been helping labels, distributors, artists and music technology companies to grow for around 25 years, mostly focusing on innovation that improves the experience for creators and consumers
I have extensive experience of working with market leaders and pioneering startups across every aspect of the business. From the backend infrastructure solutions and blockchain (rights & royalties, analytics, distribution, finance) through to creator-oriented platforms (music production, merch, live)
I've also earned my stripes at the sharp end of the business - artist management, independent record labels and retailers, grassroots music venues and music media
The 73Barrios approach to Business Development has been shaped by my experiences in sales roles with music-tech startups. Often finding that there were gaps in other areas of the business, such as Product or Operations, that hampered the sales effort - I learned to take holistic approach and work cross-functionally.
This means we can tailor our solution to your requirements, save you money and add value beyond what you might typically expect for your budget
I am a semi-retired microphone botherer who loves the beach, Spanish cuisine, fantasy novels and attempting to make art. I mostly listen to hip-hop, soul, jazz, blues and electronic music but I'm open to all styles.
