Honestly, I never set out to start a business. I always had an interest in entrepreneurship, I just didn't know where to begin. Over the years I worked across a bunch of different fields. Business operations, product operations, data analytics, even display construction. And what I found out about myself is kind of funny: I didn't really love any one "field." What I loved was building relationships. Getting to know people from different walks of life, their cultures, their dreams, whatever it was that led them to this exact moment.
The problem was, I didn't know how to turn that into something real. But there was always one constant for me, and that was music.
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, surrounded by it. My community played a lot of hip hop. My mom had 80s and 90s pop going, plus a whole lot of Elvis. But my grandfather was really the one who pulled me in. He'd play Héctor Lavoe one minute, The Drifters the next, then Michael Jackson right after. He loved karaoke, and I think that love just kind of worked its way into me. I was never traditionally trained on an instrument, but I knew how much music meant to me. That stuck.
I compete in kickboxing and MMA, so I spend a lot of time at local tournaments, either fighting myself or cornering my team. At one event specifically, everything was set. The team fought their hearts out. Walkouts, introductions, wins. But something was missing, and it hit me: music. Not random background noise, but something that set the scene. Something that spoke for the fighters.
Think about it. Whether it's a small local tournament or a UFC title fight, everyone has a rhythm they walk to, and that music is what sets the tone. If you've ever seen a Paddy Pimblett walkout, you know exactly what I mean.
That's when it clicked for me. What if there was a community of small businesses and artists working together to build that? What if those kids had a song to walk out to. What if a local artist's first expo had the right musical ambience from another artist. What if a local business hitting a major milestone wanted that celebration to feel real.
I'm a lover of Christ, and music has always been close to my heart. I mean, look at the Psalms. We were given a whole book of songs. So I set off to build real relationships with local businesses and artists, and to create experiences that actually live up to the name: perfect harmony.
That's the whole thing. I'm not here to book a gig and disappear. I'm here to find the right fit, the pairing that makes a room feel the way it's supposed to feel.
