Over plates of pasta in their favorite Midtown Italian spot, two longtime friends—David Fritz, one of the nation’s top music attorneys, and Steven Ship, a seasoned artist manager and former label CEO—found themselves talking about something that had frustrated them for years.
“Why is it so hard to find clear, trustworthy information about the music industry and its contracts?”
David had spent years explaining the same things over and over to his clients—basic music business knowledge that, in his mind, should be widely available. Steve nodded immediately. He’d learned the hard way, spending tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees just trying to understand contracts. They both knew this wasn’t just their problem—it was an industry-wide issue.
Too many artists were signing contracts they didn’t understand.
Too many careers were derailed by bad deals.
Too much critical knowledge was hidden behind expensive gates.
And they both asked the same question:
“Why is this still happening?”
That conversation sparked an epiphany.
What if they could pull back the curtain on the music industry?
What if artists, producers, managers—even lawyers—had access to the same insider knowledge, without needing to go broke learning it?
That idea became Creative Intell.
"Creative Intell is an online resource offering in-depth guidance about the true inner workings of the music industry."
