Zach Bair is CEO & Chairman of VNUE, Inc., as well as exclusive partner RockHouse Live Media Productions, Inc., dba DiscLive Network. He is also founder and president of RockHouse Live International, an innovative restaurant, bar and venue chain featuring VNUE technology.
Zach is a lifelong tech and music entrepreneur, as well as a musician, and a recognized expert and speaker in new media and revenue streams in the music business. He is an accomplished audio and video producer, and is a voting member of the Recording Academy (the Grammys).
He is the founder and former CEO and chairman of Immediatek, Inc. (IMKI), a high-tech company he took public, and prior to that, founder and former CEO/CTO of Voyence, which raised over $12m in venture capital during it’s first round, and went on to sell to EMC Corp (now part of Dell).
Bair is widely known for implementing and commercializing the “instant media” business model, acquiring pioneer DiscLive, and engaging the Pixies on the first tour that grossed more than $500K in revenue in just a few weeks. Bair spearheaded acquisitions which included Moving Records, a competitor, as well as numerous other companies and technologies.
Bair and his board of directors sold Immediatek to Mark Cuban, of “Shark Tank” fame, after achieving multiple successes in the immediate live and technology space, and Bair returned to his roots and passion with the DiscLive model.
Bair aligned RockHouse Live Media Productions with EMI Music, under the Abbey Road Live name, and upon Universal Music Group’s acquisition of EMI, Bair rebranded the live operation “DiscLive Network,” to emphasize his team’s identity of pioneering the space, the brand strength and the trust of the DiscLive brand.
With VNUE, Bair joined the company in 2016, and with his team spent almost two years bringing the company to a “current” status, and since that time has spearheaded the strategy of the company and acquisitions of several technologies under the VNUE umbrella, including set.fm, StageIt, and Soundstr, as well as numerous opportunities such as the company’s upcoming 2023 engagement with Matchbox Twenty.
As a professional recording artist and musician, Bair has released five singles in the last four years, some of them produced by Grammy-winner Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, Skillet, Pop Evil, and many more).
