“I always felt we should do something with music to make it more fun and interactive, beyond just changing the format from physical CDs to digital downloads,” Jon Vlassopulos, CEO of Bell Rock & Moderati told Wired.com. “I’d been away from the [music] space for a while doing television [Pop Idol, etc.]… I said, ’someone must have nailed this by now,’ but it turned out that no one was really doing what we thought we could deliver, in terms of this fresh, interactive vision of artists and fans collaborating.”
