The inception of LegacyNightsMusicGroup, LLC is rooted in a vision to create a lasting impact in the music industry, combining passion, creativity, and a relentless drive to preserve musical artistry for generations to come.

The story begins with the founder, David Alexander Fields aka OceanLife Gianni, a passionate music enthusiast and producer with a dream to empower emerging artists and give them the tools to leave a lasting legacy. Having spent years in the music industry, honing their craft and understanding the complexities of production, David Alexander Fields realized that many talented artists were struggling to find a platform that truly understood and nurtured their unique sounds.

The idea for LegacyNightsMusicGroup was born during countless late nights in the studio, working on projects and witnessing firsthand how powerful music can be when it is given the freedom to flourish. These “Legacy Nights,” as they were called, became a symbol of the dedication and commitment to the art form. The name LegacyNightsMusicGroup was chosen to represent the vision of leaving behind a legacy—something timeless, powerful, and memorable.

In the early days, the company operated out of a humble home studio previously named as Legacy Gang of Hoopla Worldwide Entertainment, but the passion for music and storytelling was palpable. The founder worked tirelessly to connect with artists, producers, and collaborators who shared the same belief in creating something more than just music—creating a sound that would stand the test of time. As word spread and the first few projects came to life, Legacy Gang gained recognition for its innovative production, attention to detail, and its commitment to putting the artist first thus finally landing on the name LegacyNights

Today, LegacyNightsMusicGroup has grown into a full-fledged production company, collaborating with artists across genres and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in music production. The company’s journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the unwavering belief that great music has the ability to leave a legacy that lasts forever.

At LegacyNightsMusicGroup, every project is more than just a record—it’s an opportunity to create something timeless, to shape an artist’s story, and to leave an unforgettable mark on the world of music.

Can you talk to us about how you funded your business?

Starting LegacyNightsMusicGroup, LLC wasn’t just about the love for music—it was about turning a vision into reality. As someone who had spent years in the industry, it was clear to me that building a foundation for a company meant more than just having the right equipment or studio space. It required the right investment, and more importantly, the belief in the dream I was working to create.

The first hurdle, as many entrepreneurs know, was gathering the initial capital to bring my vision to life. It wasn’t an easy process, but it was a testament to the commitment I had to creating something lasting and meaningful in the world of music.

I started by leaning into my network—reaching out to industry friends, mentors, and family who had supported me throughout my musical journey. Through conversations, shared ideas, and a compelling pitch, I was able to secure small loans from family members who believed in my potential and saw the passion behind my idea. They knew that this wasn’t just about creating a business—it was about creating a legacy.

However, the money from family wasn’t enough to fully fund my dream. I knew I had to get creative. I took on freelance work in music production, mixing and mastering projects for up-and-coming artists. The extra income allowed me to build a small savings fund, which I used to invest in the essentials: high-quality equipment, studio space, and licensing for music distribution.

While working as a freelance producer, I also started seeking partnerships with investors who shared a similar vision. Through networking events, industry conferences, and direct outreach, I connected with a few key individuals who saw the potential in my approach and were willing to invest. Their belief in my ability to create something special helped me secure additional funds that enabled me to take the next step in building LegacyNightsMusicGroup.

But the real breakthrough came when I kept mixing and producing for this new wave of independent artist that really stood out from everyone that I worked with from 2017 – 2021. By sharing my story—about the sleepless nights in the studio, the passion for nurturing new talent, and the dream of creating music that would stand the test of time—I was able to rally support from the fellow creators who resonated with my mission. The Records and products what we created brought in the final push of capital I needed to fully establish the company.

With a combination of personal savings, loans, investments, and community support, I was able to bring LegacyNightsMusicGroup to life. Every dollar raised represented a vote of confidence in my vision—and it was the fuel that ignited the fire of something bigger than just a music production company. It was a legacy in the making.

The process of securing the initial capital wasn’t easy, but it taught me invaluable lessons about the power of perseverance, the importance of a solid network, and how to turn passion into tangible results. It reinforced my belief that great things take time, dedication, and the willingness to take risks in pursuit of a dream.

Today, with the support of artists, investors, and friends who helped fund this journey, LegacyNightsMusicGroup, LLC is a thriving company that continues to create timeless music and impact the industry. And while the road to building capital was challenging, it ultimately paved the way for the lasting legacy we’re now creating.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

For me in the past I use to DM every Artist and say “Hey I love your work and I would be honored if I am given the chance to mix one of your songs” and it would strike a collaborator for life. Now I’m on a platform called EngineEars which has made my life so much easier when it comes to finding clients and and clients finding me.

With EngineEars there’s this feature “find your engineer” and it has the artist upload their song and say “Find me an engineer that can do this, this, & this.” Thats how majority of my clients now find me. Also word of mouth as well and my major label work as well.
