#TBT Anti-Aging With The EC Twins
These guys are two of my jackass best buds :). The kind of good ‘ol friends you can love and hate at the same time yet still drive 4 hours to hangout with in Vegas. The kind of friends who’ll give you crap about your ready-made meals in their freezer when you crash on their couch for two weeks but then text you that they’ve ate all the candy and carbs available in the hotel while gigging in Atlantic City.

Last Year I Had An Idea…Today I Have A Growing Startup
Last year I came up with a concept to promote indie artists alongside major artists on a premium entertainment service displayed on HDTVs inside retail stores. Months later ChazBo Music was born as a hip new digital media startup in the music tech space. Today, we program over 140,000 hours of streaming content every day across the US (4.34 Million Hours Per Month)…generating millions of views and exposure for our artists. Soon, we will do the same for brands and advertisers. #music #videos #musicpromotion #musicmarketing

Sometimes A Handshake Seals The Deal
I’m usually an advocate of paperwork; of written agreements. In the entertainment industry, you never know if a deal (or relationship) might go sour. Protecting yourself, your ideas and your interests is essential for growth and progress. However, sometimes good old fashion trust has been the glue by which big moves have been pieced together. To that end, the first significant content deal I brokered on behalf of my music tech startup, ChazBo Music, was executed by a simple handshake with entertainer and entrepreneur Nick Cannon (on behalf of his company Ncredible Entertainment). In this day and age, trust is a precious stone – hard to acquire and easy to lose. I’m proud to maintain trusting relationships with many of my entertainment industry friends and colleagues.
