Talib Kweli

"Look, Ryan's rapping, he's making the beats, he's singing the hooks, he's directing the video, and he's building the website. He's just a good person to have in your corner."

Ben Horowitz

"Ryan is a genius and is about to transform the music industry and re-balance it in favor of the artists."

Kanye West

"I think it is ridiculous giving any celebrity a creative director role of anything. There is only like three guys who I think could work like that, and that's Ryan Leslie, me and Will.I.Am, because we care about it. We're inside of it."

A NOTE FROM RYAN

In a time where 97% of all albums released in a year sell less than 1,000 copies, I took on the risk of managing my own career and sold thousands of records generating hundreds of thousands in revenue, straight off the iPhone, using a custom built technology I call Disruptive Multimedia (app.dmm.fm). The philosophy of DMM encourages direct engagement, enabling artists to have complete transparency when it comes to their business and unprecedented control over how their fans are reached.

WHY NOW?

I was a senior at Harvard by the age of nineteen and then built a pathway from homeless to Harlem, writing and producing records for others before releasing Grammy nominated work of my own. I literally changed my whole life and business by simply knowing my supporters and thanking them personally.

WHY NYC?

I officially started my career in New York as an unpaid intern and went on to generate millions by persistently pursuing my passion. I love the energy here and believe New York breeds hustlers. Let me show you the blueprint and let's continue the legacy of the city that - like money - never sleeps.
