I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak at NYU last week. Where I was on the generative Audio & AI panel,and we delved into the future of AI in music and the powerful potential it holds to reshape the industry. I shared my journey, navigating the intersections of tech, music, and community-building. As the founder of TCC Entertainment, TappedX, advisor of Block Convey I’ve been working to bridge these fields in innovative ways, from hosting major events like "NY Creator Week", and "30 for 30" to building Tapped’s live music database. Every venture, from my book ‘Cheat Codes’ to our plans for TappedX is a step toward empowering creators and expanding the possibilities in creativity and tech. The discussion also touched on the challenges and legal battles involved in this space, particularly with platforms like Udio and Suno as they grapple with the ethical and legal complexities of generative AI in music. I’m driven by a vision to create spaces where technology and creativity can flourish side by side. Here’s to pushing boundaries and educating the future of New York. Thanks again for having me New York University NYU AI School Rithik Kundu Burke Reimann

Tapped Ai was never gone. It’s just time for a rebrand. Tomorrow.

After moving to New York just five months ago and throwing a series of events on a $0 budget. I’m beyond excited to share that Red Bull is officially sponsoring my 30 for 30 Eventathon! This project will bring together the best across multiple industries, from music and tech to art and culture. Each day will feature a unique event, redefining what it means to connect and collaborate in this city. Events have truly changed my life especially the ones of us at The AI Furnace ???? It all started with Tapped Mixer, a single event that gained so much momentum, we turned it into a monthly series. After throwing some of the biggest events earlier this year at Fashion Week and TECH WEEK by a16z I knew it was time to take things to the next level. That’s when I launched my own version of SXSW in NYC, known as NY Creator Week. We threw 8+ events and sold 1,000+ tickets with zero sponsors and a $0 marketing budget. The success of Creator Week gave me the confidence to expand even further, pushing the boundaries to create a full month of events through the 30 for 30 Eventathon. What makes this journey even more meaningful is that I’ve done most of it independently, driven by a belief in grassroots marketing and building community. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue creating spaces where people can connect, collaborate, and thrive. After this month they can’t argue the noise we’ve made. Big thank you to Angela Mascarenas Zebo Furqatzoda Natalie Neptune Justin Krokoff Megh Vakharia Alston Pough Mo Paquin Alisha Outridge Chartmetric who have helped us host over the past couple months. Wouldn’t have been possible without you guys. #30for30 #Eventathon #NYC #RedBull #CommunityBuilding #GrassrootsMarketing #TappedMixer #NYCreatorWeek #Creativity #TechEvents

**HIRING TappedX” Introducing “30 for 30” Eventathon. Which means I’ll be throwing an event every day of the month of November. This project will bring together the best across multiple industries, from music and tech to art and culture. Each day will feature a fresh, unique event, redefining what it means to connect and collaborate in this city. Events have truly changed my life. It all started with Tapped Mixer, a single event that gained so much momentum, we turned it into a monthly series. After throwing some of the biggest events earlier this year at Fashion Week and Tech Week. I knew it was time to take things to the next level. To which I then started my own version of SXSW in NYC. Known as “NY Creator Week”. Where we threw 8+ events and sold 1,000+ tickets with zero sponsors, and a $0 marketing budget The success of Creator Week gave me the confidence to expand even further to pushing the boundaries to create a full month of events. What makes this journey even more meaningful is that I’ve done most of it independently. I didn’t come from connections or a built-in network, but I’ve always believed in the power of hard work and creativity. This Eventathon is a testament to that. I want to use this platform to attract new sponsors and bring event organizers to work with me, whether they’re experienced or just starting out. If you’ve never thrown an event before, that doesn’t matter, I’m here to help you grow and create something impactful together. Thanks to TappedX we have a database of thousands of venues that we can partner with for free. The traction we’re building is undeniable, and I won’t let sponsors ignore the impact we’re making any longer. This month will change that, and after this month we should never have an event that goes unsponsored ever again. Stay tuned for the full lineup of events. November 1st- November 30th lets bring together creators and the ai space. But that can not be possible without the help of other event hosts. So if you know someone who would be a good fit and would like to throw an event with us, please let me know.

I built a personal brand in six months to reach 300,000+ people on LinkedIn and you should too. In the last six months, I’ve focused on building a personal brand that reflects my journey as a founder/creator. This visibility helped me accomplish some amazing things: ? Hired 30+ interns to support my growing ventures ? Built one of the largest live performance databases with TappedX ? Expanded Tapped and TCC Entertainment to a bigger community ? Successfully hosted Creator Week, bringing together 1000+ creators ? Sold out my book “Cheat Codes” and used it as a tool to share my strategies with others on how to build your personal brand, and a social media following. ? Raised funds and moved to New York full-time, positioning myself closer to the heart of the industry. What I’ve learned is that personal branding isn’t about vanity metrics, its about building a community. If any of you are trying to build a personal brand I’d love to help. If you would like to have access to my book for free message me and I will dm you a private link.

As startup founders, we often get caught up in sharing only the highlights, the accomplishments, and the success stories. It’s tempting, and I think we’re guilty of that sometimes at TappedX as well. But today, I wanted to share something different: a rejection letter from HF0. Our team didn’t make it into the F24 batch this time around. If anything, this is a reminder to keep pushing, keep innovating, and stay the course. Rejections don’t define us; it honestly does not bother me at all. For those who’ve faced their own setbacks recently, know that you’re not alone. We all go through it.

I also reveal a huge announcement about the future of Tapped Ai and where we’re headed next, something I haven’t discussed publicly until now. If you’ve been curious about what’s next for us, you won’t want to miss this! Tune in to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/ekCNHfCF TappedX
