#383: Louis Marks & Fabian Brown (Founders of Third Way Cultural Alliance) (pt. 1 of 2)

Today we released part one of our interview with Louis Marks and Fabian Brown. They’re the co-founders of “Third Way Cultural Alliance,” a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting intelligent contemporary music as art. 

Louis has been in the music industry for nearly 20 years and has worked in fields ranging from merchandise to licensing. He purchased Ropeadope Music Entertainment in 2005 and created a label that has released music of artists including Ramsey Lewis and Snarky Puppy. 

Fabian Brown is a multi-talented musician, entrepreneur, and community advocate hailing from the Greater Philadelphia area. With over 20 years of experience in the music industry, Fabian currently serves as the President of Ropeadope, an international independent record label.

If you're a musician, you'll enjoy hearing how Third Way is giving access to musicians and promoting music that might otherwise not be produced.
