About Music Mastermind
Music Mastermind was co-founded by Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter and former Chairman/CEO of Virgin Records Matt Serletic and former Managing Director and Global Head of Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Trading at JP Morgan Bo Bazylevsky. Zya, Music Mastermind’s first product, is the brainchild of Matt and Bo, and was realized with the help of music industry executive Dean Serletic, US High Yield trader Andrew Bazylevsky, and Wall Street veteran/lifelong musician Terry Solomone. Founded in 2008, the company is dedicated to developing technologies that break down the barriers to music creation and expression. Music Mastermind is a venture-backed startup whose investors include Intel Capital and Liberty Global.
