Founder and CEO David Lee Adams, on the gap he came home to fill.
"I was born and raised here, and I spent nine years in L.A. going back and forth to visit family. I realized that New Orleans has a huge gap in what's happening in the industry compared to big cities like L.A. and Miami."
David Lee Adams · Biz New Orleans"It didn't make sense to me that we didn't have a culture of business for entertainment. I just saw a gap that these artists working so hard down here — really trying to put music out — don't have the buildings, the technology, the people to give you the advice."
David Lee Adams · Fox 8 News"This is the largest set you can get before you get to a theatre. The space now you're listening to is a full bubble. Almost like a virtual reality of music."
