Every wonder if there was a way music fans could make sure the money they spend supporting their favorite artists actually helped those artists, rather than massive industry conglomerates? Well, Brandon Halvorson and Assignment Creative have got you covered! Launching this summer, Assignment Creative will help build an entirely new network based on an online currency where the connections between artists and fans are direct, rather than indirect. Fans will be able to use aCoins to support their favorite artists in the marketplace while artists can launch funding drives in this same space.

Artist, meet fan. Fan, meet artist. Make amazing music.

Checkout Assignment Creative and be sure to signup for the upcoming launch announcement!

Below are five questions we asked Brandon so the world can better get to know the genius about to change the face of the music industry:

What's your line of work and why do you do what you do?

I'm building a tech startup to make a revolutionary change in the music industry. Using technology to bring some sense back to an industry that I believe is more important that its given credit. The more art that the world is creating and consuming, the better the world is. I want to play a part in taking music and art in general to the next level. My vehicle to do so is Assignment Creative where we have developed a new way for musicians to find fans, fans a way to find their new favorite bands, and for both groups to mutually benefit from the interactions. Our philosophy is "Music is Free, Creativity is a Commodity, and Art is a Gift."

What's your favorite type of project to work on? Have any examples?
I like events, before I started building Assignment Creative I worked in the craft beer industry and had the opportunity to organize and manage some really epic events. One of the most satisfying feelings is watching people enjoy with their family and friends something you've worked so hard to produce. You may be exhausted, stressed, and frustrated- but the goal is to provide them with a good time, and when that happens its incredibly fulfilling. I have some really cool events in the works with Assignment Creative including the first ever Long Beach Walls, An ARt Walk event with Bryan Amburgey of ARLB where we'll be turning Downtown Long Beach into an interactive music and art exhibit on June 20th.

If someone gave you a million dollars, how would you spend it?

$1million would be a good start to fully funding my ambitions with Assignment Creative. $10 million would be more useful.

If you had to choose, Beck or Johnny Cash? Explain your answer.

Fugazi?

What do you like most about being a Work Evolution member?

WE LABS is community. I couldn't see my project having the positive traction it is enjoying without the support I've found at WE LABS. It's not quite an incubator, not just a co-op working space, and certainly not a stuffy place to be. I've met collaborators and made friends, found insight and good people to enjoy a happy hour pint with (at Beachwood BBQ, of course). WE LABS is the cutting edge for the creative and tech communities in Long Beach, who really wants to work in their home office when they can work around so many awesome people.
