A different kind of superstar.
In 2004, I found my calling. As a teenager in the Pacific Northwest, I left high school to pursue recording, producing, and writing music. My happy place was going to shows around Seattle, making friends, and discovering new music. I would bring bands home to my basement recording studio, and we would figure it all out together. We would burn hundreds of CDs, print or even draw our own artwork, and sling them all over town.
Since then I’ve relocated to Los Angeles and the technology has changed quite a big, but the goal remains the same: connect with and support the people around me making amazing music. I founded Duperstar because my obsession with helping talented people has led me to some strange and interesting places, and now it finally has a home in the form of a business. Let’s get weird together!

Mission
Our mission is to nurture, support, and help in any way we can, artists that are onto something. Music that makes you go “whoa, this is big”. It’s interesting, it’s new, it’s intense, it’s inspiring, you know it when you see it. Life is short, and we crave music that doesn’t just sing to you, it grabs you by the hand and thrusts you in. Maybe it’s novelty, maybe it’s simply novel. We’re not looking for the next superstar; there are thousands of them, and they start to look the same after a while. We’re gonna get weird. We’re looking for the next Duperstar.
