10K Projects founder and CEO Elliot Grainge and Create Music Group Co-Founders and CEO Jonathan Strauss and COO Alexandre Williams have made a strategic investment in management and digital marketing company Homemade Projects, whose artists have amassed more than 1.2 billion streams to date.
Led by Co-Founders Zach Friedman and Tony Talamo, Homemade Projects represents a roster of artists including Jacob Sartorius, 10K Projects artists Surfaces and AUSTN, Nebu Kiniza and many others.
Included in the deal is the establishment of Homemade Records, a label that will be distributed through Caroline via a joint venture with 10K Projects and Create.
The first releases under the new deal are expected later this year.
Homemade also represents a number of top influencers like Alex Blesiv, Larray, Vereena and Daniella Perkins.
They are well known within the music industry for their expertise in digital marketing, having worked with such artists as Travis Scott, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Trippie Redd, G-Eazy and Metro Boomin, to name a few.
The company also produces the tours for Top 10 podcasts Crime Junkie and Cody Ko & Noel Miller’s TMG.
“Jon, Alex and I have long wanted to create an incubator for entrepreneurs in the music and technology space, and we all saw this investment in Homemade Projects as a great first step.”
