About
Making music is no longer the hard part. Choosing is.
The catalogue behind Amini Music goes back to 1984. Today Amini Music is a Music Venture Studio led by David Cok, founder, venture architect and author of Building Music Ventures. We write the hypothesis before the release, show what worked and what we stopped, and sort the rights before the spotlight.
