GEMS Presents "The Big Picture" INTERVIEWS

GEMS Presents "The Big Picture" Chuck D. and the Beginning of a Revolution (New York City, March 6, 1999)

On April 1st, 1998, Les Paul called me to inspire me to continue. I had spent the past two years away from the music business producing kids' expo's with Rugrats and the like, when Les said "If you go in to rob a bank with a toy guy, the bank wins. So in order to win, you have to go in with a tank!" I thought about it and spent the next four months drawing up the plans for an event which would help to define and start a major music revolution. I spent every day from April 1st until Labor Day we… Continue

*****************************

"Never before has the availability of technology allowe d communica tion to occur in a decentralized m anner, and because of this, both "mainstream" as well as alternative artists are rethinking their career strategies both long and short-term. This phenomena was most apparent at the Global Entertainment & Media Summit, where thinkers and doers in many fields came from all over the world to exchange ideas and present platforms by which this evolution could occur in an effective and inclusive way. I was most impressed with the realistic outlook on the part of most of the participants, who fully understanding the difficulty of the task at hand, still seemed truly willing to tackle the obstacles ahead and to help create an industry that will be even better than the one which it will replace..."
–Michael Masucci, Director / EZTV Media


It's my impression that you have always kept your finger on the pulse of emerging technology and that you have been able to predict it's profound influence on the music industry - most obviously demonstrated by your creation of the NY Music and Internet Expo (even before the crest of the dot.com wave) and have kept that momentum with GEMS conference.
There are few individuals who understand the impact of the convergence of technology and entertainment better than yourselves. Celia Black, VP, Business Development, Kurzweil Technologies
