To Know and Not to Do is Not to Know

About Me

I founded Waxploitation in 1997 as a home for innovative artists in music. Initially a record label, the Company expanded into Artist Management and Music Publishing in 2000. I've been the longtime artist manager for the six-time nominated, two-time Grammy Award winning producer and artist Danger Mouse. Waxploitation also manages the Cee-Lo Green and Danger Mouse multi-platinum, two-time Grammy Award winning Gnarls Barkley persona as well as the MF DOOM and Danger Mouse project known as Dangerdoom, released in collaboration with [Adult Swim]. Waxploitation handles publishing catalogs with classics including ‘Bust a Move’, ‘Wild Thing’ and ‘Funky Cold Medina’, as well as Beastie Boys seminal album Paul’s Boutique. Waxploitation will release Teargas & Plateglass’ highly anticipated Black Triage album later this year and the 3rd album by Nine Inch Nails alumna Chris Vrenna, under the Tweaker monikerWAXPLOITATION GNARLS BARKLEY
