Music

In 2002, I co-founded Sunflower Entertainment, an independent music rights company focused on publishing, licensing, royalty collection, catalog development and administration. Our work spans Latin, Caribbean and international music, from important legacy catalogs to contemporary repertoire.

That operating experience has given me a practical understanding of copyrights as both creative works and long-term assets. I have worked across catalog acquisitions, ownership, administration and licensing, helping connect enduring songs with new audiences and opportunities.

Music is also a family legacy. My grandfather Leonard Chess co-founded Chess Records, whose artists—including Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James and Chuck Berry—helped shape blues, R&B and rock and roll. My father, Marshall Chess, continued that tradition as a producer and music executive.

Today, I bring that history into my own work as a publisher, rights owner and investor—building independently, supporting artists and songwriters, and helping valuable music travel across generations and markets.
