Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Elite Recordings. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Elite, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you share an important lesson you learned in a prior job that’s helped you in your career afterwards?

During and in the aftermaths of the Covid-19 crisis – before starting the Elite Recordings collective -, the significance of creating community became very apparent. The strength of having a network in which all participants can contribute with their expertise and in their areas of interest, as well as the joy of being able to create music with such talented individuals and getting to learn from one another – has been such an incredible process. In another aspect, community is so important on a personal level as well and working so closely with such a supportive network of people has never felt more important, personally. It has become a very family-like dynamic.

Elite, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
