Matt Jacoby
Drummer, Entrepreneur, Digital Marketing, Podcasts, Web Developer
I have been a drummer for 25 years (with 3 bands and 2 albums under my belt) and a member of the Madison Area Music Awards for 15 years, as a board member, a volunteer, and the Front of House and Red Carpet coordinator for 11 years. I am a web developer (22 years), digital marketing strategist (7 years), and a podcast host (1 year) previously operating as Octave Media, where I helped brands in the musical instrument, pro audio and event technology industries use digital marketing more effectively. I have a strong passion at the intersection of technology and the future of the music industry, and for helping musicians and bands succeed in making their passion a true career and for returning the power and control to the industry’s content creators.
Nick Venturella
Singer, Songwriter, Marketing, College Market Touring, Coaching
I have been a gigging singer/songwriter/guitar player since 1994. I have a strong DIY ethos, which so far has resulted in 10 self produced and released solo albums, 3 additional albums with previous bands, and a music marketing & mindset book, “The Local Music Journey.” I’m a certified professional coach, armed with years of marketing experience spanning small businesses, higher education and publicly traded tech corporations, I consistently feel energized by helping others explore the crossroads where art and commerce meet.
Steve Banik
Classically Trained Pianist, Nationally Touring Keyboard Player, Hip-Hop DJ/Producer, Licensing/Royalties, IT
I lived in Nashville and worked as the touring keyboard player for several major label recording artists. Following my move to Madison, I formed a music production, performance and licensing company where I continue to build my catalog of songs and DJ/production work. Since 1993 I’ve played in nearly 30 bands, so I have a keen understanding of what makes groups succeed. I’m committed to helping musicians thrive and build a career doing the work they love.
