Executive music producer and artist manager Erik Mendelson graduated on
the Dean’s List with a Bachelor’s Degree from Rutgers University and is
currently the CEO of Cre8tor.app (formerly RecordGram) & Tune Token.

Erik’s vast range of tenured entertainment experience comes from stints at
Interscope Records, Loud Records, Hot 97, Elektra Records and Jive

the Apps” which included celebrity mentors Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow,

15, including Cre8tor.app, received funding from globally recognized VC
Lightspeed Venture Partners. Cre8tor also received additional funding from
the New World Angels which is Florida’s largest Angel investor group and
Monique Mosley, a tenured music, film and advertising executive.
Prior to receiving investment, Erik participated the Project Music accelerator

marketing initiatives over his career and is a proven leader in developing

acquisition, contract negotiation and developing cross-functional
