A team tocome back to.

Before GRYT, Nick spent ten years in music tech. He co-founded Songlink, the music link millions of artists used in 180+ countries, and sold it to Linktree. He scaled growth at Mint Songs through its sale to Napster, then grew Kits AI until Splice bought it.

The founders' perspective

C.Y. Lee, CEO of Music Nerd, watched that whole run from the sidelines. He was also early on IRL. Before run clubs and real-world community became a cultural moment, C.Y. saw that people wanted to be in a room together again. When he and Nick finally sat down for coffee, C.Y. didn't want to talk about growth hacks. He wanted to hear the story. He left believing Nick was a storyteller, and he signed on to executive produce GRYT.

That's the whole idea behind this crew. Somebody believed in us before there was anything to show. Every Saturday, we try to do that for each other.
