Music radically influenced Ryan Zeulner’s life. He was first handed a punk cd as a sophomore in high school that changed his life. He began going to shows. His friends joined bands and he would spend his evenings and weekends supporting them any way he could. Music brought him and his younger brother together because it was the one thing they had in common. Ryan began throwing small school concerts both in high school and in college. He began volunteering at the Radio station as a DJ, worked in the University book store as the music buyer (coolest job on campus) and for a short time became an intern for an indie record label.
The shows continued at his next job for a while until the vision began to grow. What if FEEDtheMUSIC became a platform for artists? What if there was a return to Renaissance?
