Our Team

The Architects of ArtiVerse

BRIAN WINETT

Founder & CEO

Scaled from mom-and-pop turn-arounds to Fortune 10 digital programs across banking, retail, healthcare & entertainment. Brian could have pursued any path—and his track record would speak for itself. Yet his outsider status in music is precisely his greatest advantage: while industry insiders keep spinning the same broken records in an increasingly fragmented, unsustainable landscape, Brian sees a clear path forward. Legendary industry stalwarts like Stewart Levine see it too—along with Brian’s passion for pop which fuels him down this specific path.

Stewart Levine

Industry Advisor

Stewart Levine is a Grammy- and Oscar-winning producer whose unparalleled 60-year career gives him access to virtually every label, stage, and boardroom in an otherwise notoriously closed-off industry. Stewart has worked closely with iconic artists such as Lionel Richie, Patti Labelle, B.B. King, Simply Red, Hugh Masekela, Sly Stone, Boy George, Joe Cocker, Boz Scaggs, Huey Lewis and dozens more, shaping their careers and landmark albums. With his depth of musical wisdom, experience, and reputation, there is perhaps no one better suited to help ArtiVerse navigate the music industry, as he is fully in support of its mission.
