Never A Phase 11: Brian Venn | Jet Fuel Artistry

On today's show, Brian Venn talks about his history in the scene and what caused him to start representing bands as Jet Fuel Artistry. Brian's journey into the music industry began at a young age. He started attending concerts and festivals, which ignited his passion for music. At 15, he attended his first Warped Tour and was captivated by the energy of live performances. This early exposure laid the foundation for Brian's future endeavors in music promotion. Brian initially pursued music himself, playing in bands and attending shows. However, he quickly realized that while he enjoyed performing, his true calling lay in promoting and supporting the artists he loved. This realization led him to start Jet Fuel Artistry. Brian’s dedication to helping bands gain visibility and success in the industry has driven the growth of his business. One of the most critical aspects of music promotion is establishing strong relationships with the bands and artists you represent.
