Ryan Wines is Founder and CEO of Marmoset: a global music agency based in Portland, Oregon. Ryan has done it all — from music supervision for global brand campaigns, to producing records, and scouting and signing award-winning talent. He’s launched and managed multiple record labels, managed bands, worked at advertising agencies, and was a college radio DJ at his alma mater, Southern Oregon University.
Under Ryan’s leadership, Marmoset became the first Certified B Corp in the industry, the first to invest 10% of profits into community partners, and the only music company brave enough issue an Annual Transparency Report, raising awareness to systemic inequalities in music, media and tech industries.
 
A fiery advocate of creators, Ryan gave a TED Talk about “leading creatives amidst a modern landscape” and has given talks on music licensing, music producing, workplace culture, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at places like SXSW, CMJ Music Festival, TechFest NW and regularly guest lectures at universities far and wide.

Marmoset is a longtime supporter of the Hawaii Songwriting Festival. 

Anna Schulze is a multi-faceted songwriter, producer, and artist. Her music has been featured in dozens of television shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, Virgin River, All American, Batwoman as well as major ad campaigns and trailers (Apple iPhone 11, Disney’s “Launchpad”, “Pig” featuring Nicholas Cage, “Control Z” on Netflix, “Gentleman Jack” (HBO), and “Veneno” to name a few). As an artist, Schulze’s songs echo raw themes of freedom, irreverence, and vulnerability. In 2021 she released her third studio album that she self-produced and mixed titled “Break Your Heart, Keep It Open” which was reviewed as “not just a kaleidoscopic thrill ride between genres or an exemplar of confessional songwriting, it’s a flex.” [BuzzBands] 

Aside from her prolific solo work, Schulze collaborates frequently with other artists, writers, and composers. In 2017, she teamed up with Maia Sharp to form their duo Roscoe & Etta. Their first single “Broken Headlights” went Top Ten at Triple A radio, and the duo has opened for Lissie, Dispatch, Mt Joy, Wood Brothers, and more. Schulze has a forthcoming EP slated for 2023 with Ryan Marshall (of Walk Off The Earth) for their new collaboration together, titled Vic Moon. 

Schulze graduated from University of Southern California where she studied Popular Music and also worked with mentor, Glen Ballard (Katy Perry, Alanis Morisette, Michael Jackson). You may have also heard Schulze’s alter ego, genevoise, lull you with her French comptines (and “A la Claire Fontaine” featured in the Netflix film “Icarus”).
