Rachel Lynn Karry, cofounder and president of World Artists United (WAU), along with her partner, Jalen James Acosta, cofounder and CEO, are on a mission to close the gap between the artistic side of the music industry and the independent business side.

They have designed a conference, the Music Entrepreneur Conference, that provides meaningful connections, inspiring talks, powerful resources and creativity coupled with entrepreneurship. The Conference brings together leaders of music innovation, inspiration and globalization by connecting an alliance of pioneers to empower and engage the next generation of leading music entrepreneurs.

"We wanted to build a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who we could really grow with," Karry continues."On the artist side, developing young artists, it was clear to me that they needed more than just professional development. They needed more than just good music. They really needed to understand what this whole entrepreneurial journey is like.

Since their initial meeting, Karry and Acosta have not only invested in various companies but also founded World Artists United, which is a full-service multimedia and entertainment company specializing in music, film and video production. The company stemmed from Acosta's experience in the limelight to being homeless to one day, deciding that he was not only going to change his life but help others along the way.
