About the performance

First Impressions: How A Teenager Became Create Music Group's Secret Weapon, Belle Meade

We’ll explore the career arc of Jacob Pace, VP of Business Development and A&R of Create Music Group/CEO of Flighthouse and discover why his boss and mentor Alexandre Williams, Create’s Co-Founder & COO, took a chance on the young executive when he was still in high school (*spoiler alert* Alex didn’t know he was still in high school)!

This conversation will discuss how it’s never too early in your life to try and make your dreams come true, how naivete might just be your best asset, and how being young in the business of youth culture is a significant advantage.

Create Music Group, based in LA, is the leader in digital royalty collection and content promotion, working with the likes of Migos, Post Malone, and more. Create was named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies this year. Flighthouse, a division of Create Music group, is a viral Youtube and online channel with over 18 million followers on TikTok.
