redefining how music is made

“I founded Scaeva Technologies after leading and exiting four other successful companies. With a parallel life in music and as a former professional musician, I am excited about enabling millions of creatives to express and monetize talent, as well as elevating the music experience for all of us.”

“For far too long, we have been watching music and entertainment professionals struggle to see economic value for their hard work due to piracy. It has become my personal mission to protect the valuable IP of artists and studios so that we can continue to enjoy their entertaining art.”

“I believe that successful businesses focus on very large markets, and deliver high quality products to address priority unmet needs. I am proud to be part of an experienced team that shares this philosophy, and to contribute my disciplines of fiscal integrity, and delivering meaningful results.”

“Design is at the core of everything we create at Scaeva. My sincere belief is that we can make a real impact on the music industry not only by creating cutting-edge products but by making them user-friendly and pouring a lot of love into it.”

“Music is medicine for the soul. It’s an artist’s dreams, thoughts and imagination graciously shared. Ending piracy as we know it may not have an overnight solution, however as Martin Luther King said: ‘You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.’ I believe Scaeva can become the whole staircase.

“As a professional musician, I realize that I must create compelling content, and be allowed to monetize it. I appreciate easy-to-use tools such as the ScaevaSAFE, which protects my work without getting in the way of my band’s creative process.”
