Rebel Music Collective Announces Addition of Finance, Communications, and Creative Directors to Team
While Rebel Music Collective began as a team of two in 2015, it has now more than doubled the size of its team with the addition of full-time finance, communication, and creative talent.
GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rebel Music Collective began in 2011 with its founder, Kane Tabiri. Tabiri's idea for the Collective came about after he realized the arsenal of talent that surrounded him, namely in his sister, Ama, and his close friend, Charles Tyler. By 2015, Kane and Charles Tyler formed the hip-hop/R&B group now known as Lo Village, based out of their hometown in Gaithersburg, MD.
Fast forward to today and RMC continues to expand, more than doubling the size of its team since 2015. The addition of these new team members has strategically supported the Collective's efforts toward establishing a music hub in the DMV area.
Additions to the RMC team include Partner and Financier, Joe Banania, Communications Director, Bethany Thomas, and Creative Director, Benny Harps. With each member bringing their own expertise, experience, and unique perspective to the table, Rebel Music has positioned itself as a force to be reckoned with in the DMV.
About the Team:
Joe Banania
Growing up, Joe was always interested in how business and numbers worked and, more importantly, how they worked together. Now, at RMC, he is focused on the financial aspect of running the business, goal setting and guiding long term planning. Joe also manages the artists and works closely with the rest of the RMC team to strategically plan every move made. His strong background in both finance and accounting keeps the group's budget managed and bank account full. Joe has a degree in accounting and a minor in entrepreneurship, both of which he uses to find creative ways to lead the label toward its goals.
Bethany Thomas
Bethany's background is rooted in politics and American studies - two subjects that have developed her strong communication and writing skills. At Rebel Music, she manages press relations, artist bookings, content generation and more generally, wrangling the rest of the RMC clan. Spending the last 7 years in Washington, DC, Bethany has a deep appreciation for the art of compromise, and believes that words have the power to change everything. Bringing this philosophy to the table helps her ensure that Lo Village is represented in the best light everywhere they go.
Benny Harps
Benny orchestrates Rebel Music's creative direction and process in all facets. From photoshoots and music videos to album curation, Benny leads the way. An avid music listener himself, he also partakes in song production and lyric development. Benny's years-long hobby-turned-career of photography allows him to truly capture the Lo Village brand as well as direct the overall vision of the group. Benny is also founder and CEO of Napizum, a magazine based in Washington, DC that highlights self-supporting artists.
