How Ross Lee Went from IT Pro to Music Industry Disruptor

What was your background before you became an entrepreneur?

One of my first jobs was in the IT department for a MP3 player manufacturing company. I liked working on the tech side of the music industry, but I also really wanted to work directly with artists and musicians. I connected with a friend who worked in the music and entertainment industries and ended up entering the industry myself. It was the best choice I ever made.

What made you decide to become an entrepreneur?

At first, I thought we could compete with the large Korean entertainment companies. I wanted to get into the industry and really shake things up that way. When that didn’t work out, I decided to try something else no one thought was possible, and put artists from two different continents together on a record. That led to some big successes.

What traits of yours do you think most contributed to your success?

I like to be open-minded, and I’m not afraid to try new things. The second you get into that way of thinking is the second you close yourself off from new opportunities.
