It's a privilege that I step into the role of KOR’s CEO. We're building the clearinghouse for talent in the AI economy: the system that lets artists get discovered, matched to the right label or agency, and paid the moment a deal lands. AI has made it possible for anyone to create at a professional level. However, the infrastructure connecting that talent to opportunity hasn't kept up, and closing that gap is a responsibility I hold seriously. With the support of our team and the partners who believed in this early, I've taken on this role to make sure we meet what the industry actually needs: a system that works at the speed and scale entertainment now demands. The foundation we've built is strong. Six products. Institutional partners across music and entertainment. And a settlement layer built on @base, because it's the only place shipping the infrastructure a clearinghouse like this requires. My focus from here: 1. Bringing established artists, labels, and entertainment companies onto Base 2. Building alongside the Base community and team. Our mission to bring real-world industries onchain is the same one they're building toward. 3. Shipping the products and tech that make the clearinghouse useful from day one, with more to share in the weeks ahead. Excited for this next chapter!
