WFNM is widely regarded throughout the music industry as a trend-defining brand.  

As a USC Thornton School of Music graduate in Music Business, Grant’s curation and personal taste, as well as his experience as an A&R and Creative Director, has established him as a well respected oracle of the best upcoming pop, rock and R&B artists.  Grant’s creative prowess is propelled by his co-founder, Jonathan, a CSULB Cole Conservatory School of Music graduate in Voice Performance and a Juris Doctorate having an extensive background in music, film and television on matters relating to marketing, publicity, and legal & business affairs.
