Fabien

I grew up in the heart of Paris, and got the opportunity to travel extensively around the world from a very young age. Later on, my studies in International Business & Entrepreneurship led me to the San Francisco Bay Area, where I spent a couple of years studying and working in marketing. Since I was a teenager, I have had a very strong drive for launching new business and being a motivated entrepreneur. After a short one-year move back to Paris in 2000 where I launched a dot-com, I decided to hit the grounds of New York in early 2001 as my attraction for the city started as a teenager and did only grow throughout my several visits over here. Like most of us over here, I am really living a beautiful love affair with New York City. I love its vibe, people, diversity, entertainment, energy and everything else. Shortly after my move, I started working for an advertising agency handling the Air France account (‘Making the sky the best place on earth’ was our motto…). In the meantime, I launched an event planning company, Tease Inc (www.tease-nyc.com), along with DJs-turned-event-planners Mike Canino and Chris Mac. For the past 5 years, the three of us have been hosting hundreds of diverse events (product launches, restaurant openings, art shows, holiday parties, etc). Our venture grew a reputation for holding creative parties held within unconventional and private venues such as lofts, photo studios, rooftops, galleries, boats, ballrooms, etc. This has been an amazing experience so far, giving us the opportunity to connect with so many interesting individuals throughout the years and sharing intense celebrations with them. We are currently working on the planning of upcoming events for 2006, including a summer outdoor festival in Brooklyn. Also, I recently launched with some friends the US division of a European record label named Recall (www.recallgroup.com). We do have a great challenge ahead of us and I am extremely excited to introduce our projects to the US audience. Our releases cover various types of music, including Rock, Pop, Electronic, World, Trip-Hop, as well as soundtrack music. I hope you enjoy the track from Grand National on my page, as this is a very talented band from the UK we are extremely proud of! Today is really an exciting time for the music business, as the industry is evolving constantly with new tools & ways of getting exposure and distribution coming up (MySpace being the perfect example). Anyway, enough about me…..the point of getting on MySpace is to learn about you!
