oiid has been incubated during a period of disruption. As perceptions of digital value
have shifted, Frank has been at the forefront of developing innovative artist/label
approaches to digital consumption. A whole new B2B ecosystem of licensing and value

role of participating in the disruption, and the now growing new ecosystem has given
Frank unique pathfinder know-how and networks.
