The 17-year-old entrepreneur narrates about his passion and journey so far.
My passion, my company
Chris Yangello was an ardent fan of hip-hop. This has fueled him to start his enterprise around his true passions. Thus he became the founder of the company when he was just 15 years old. “Working with and meeting new artists, content creators, and event production teams are an absolute blessing. There’s no career as versatile, competitive, and enjoyable as being involved in the music industry,” underlines Chris, who is a student at Devon Preparatory School, graduating this year. His company has created content for events such as Made in America 2018, Dreamville Festival, Firefly Music Festival, Rolling Loud Miami 2019, Coachella 2019 among others. He also had the distinction to work with Travis Scott, Juice WRLD, DaBaby, Trippie Redd, 6lack, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Lil Skies, Zedd, Kygo, Gunna, J.I.D, Jake Miller, LovelyTheBand, MAX Music, and many more.
Teenage entrepreneur
Chris Yangello is the kind of entrepreneur who dared to shape his career around his passions at a very younger age. He has worked with numerous large-scale music festivals for media coverage and promotion including Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE and Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, NC. Chris was previously signed under Sony Music Entertainment’s “REDMusic Label” (now formally known as “The Orchard”) from mid-2018 to late 2019. The 17-year-old not only started his company but also made it quite popular and successful. “I’ve created and developed my own live-event production company at 17 years. I don’t know many teenagers who are producing concerts and doing media for global music festivals,” says a beaming Chris.
