Show Notes

Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, episode 22, 'The Power of Music' with Jason Spiewak, Founder & CEO of JLS Artist Management & Noble Steed Music. 

JLS Artist Management: a full-service entertainment management company, built to represent a music-centric client base that is active worldwide.   

Noble Steed Music: a record label with distribution through DashGo, as well as an artist services company offering world-class service to independent artists.

In this episode Jason shares how he connected to music early on in his life. He started with piano lessons when he was just 11 years old.  Jason says, "music has given him everything". He also plays the drums. 

Jason moved forward and took the stage and the road playing in a band. After 5 years of playing in the band, he then moved on to be an assistant at a record label. You will hear more about this part of his journey. During this time he was then mentored by several who really helped him launch his career.  

Jason learned the music business on the independent side of the record company world, with early work experience at Artemis Records, Studio E Records and TVT Records.   
 
He was  co-founded the Warner Music distributed-label Rock Ridge Music in 2004, later to be named that company’s President.  Under Jason’s leadership, the label enjoyed the success of high-charting releases by Sister Hazel, Rachel Platten, Five.Bolt.Main, and a #1 jazz record by former baseball great Bernie Williams to name a few.

He currently manages artists including: Constantine Maroulis, Toby Lightman, and many more that you can view on www.noblesteedmusic.com

The passing of Jason's Dad made him really look at things a bit differently. Jason says, "if there is something that has arisen in you, don't let that be fleeting. Act on the impulse. Too many of us get the signal, ignore it, and than the flare is gone". 

Jason shares that he is just Dad with his kids, but that the gold records he has are somewhat cool to them. 

Additionally, Jason donates his time to the Music Is Love Exchange, a charitable organization that leads groups of musicians and fans to Guatemala annually for week-long service trips. 

Listen in to hear how Jason became a Grammy voting member and his answer for the question, if you knew then what you know now, what would that be?
