OUR STORY

Hello! Our names are Greg Ferraiolo and TJ Pederson and we are the co-founders of Musician Indie Coalition (MIC).


We spent the majority of our 18+ years in the music industry working for legendary GRAMMY award-winning composer, producer and musician NILE RODGERS, where we gained experience in nearly every aspect of the business, learned the techniques for managing a successful music career and record label and had the honor of working with some of the industry’s leading professionals and musical acts.


While working for Nile, we both started off at his production company, Nile Rodgers Productions, booking tours for his band CHIC and coordinating the live events Nile produced. This is where we got to work with artists like Prince, Billy Joel, Slash, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, James Taylor, Patti LaBelle, Paul Simon, Diana Ross and many more.  

Eventually, we moved to Nile's label Sumthing Else Music Works, which specialized in video game soundtracks. At the time, the video game soundtrack genre was ignored by the music industry and the majority of game publishers only cared about their games and not about their game's music.


This gave TJ and I the rare opportunity to build a new genre of music and that's what we did. Over a 7-year period, we signed the majority of game publishers to Nile's label, worked extensively to promote game composers and developed customized marketing and sales strategies, which eventually led to game soundtracks outselling movie soundtracks.


During our careers, we've worked on over 200 soundtrack releases from franchises such as Assassin's Creed, Bloodbourne, Borderlands, Castlevania, Darksiders, Dead Island, Deus Ex, Devil May Cry, Fable, Fantasia: Music Evolved, Far Cry, Gears of War, Halo, Hitman, Infamous, Journey, Mega Man, Metal Gear, My Singing Monsters, Pay Day, Red Faction, Resident Evil, Saints Row, Street Fighter, Tomb Raider and Warhammer 40k, in addition to numerous artists releases.
