Nicholas Judd

Nicholas Judd always knew he wanted to be in the music industry. After graduating from Syracuse University with a degree in accounting, finance, and the music industry, he joined Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, LLP, where he worked on large client accounts across music, film, and television, and fashion. Accounting came easily to him, and he engaged with artists with empathy and transparency, a rarity in business management. During his time at GR&F, Nicholas founded Entertainment Talk Shop, which produced quarterly networking events in New York City. He grew the organization to a team of seven with event attendance topping 200 professionals.

In 2014, Nicholas joined Livestyle, Inc., a global producer of live events, where he led a team overseeing all accounting and finance operations for Disco Donnie Presents, MMG, and Life In Color. He went on to form Judd Financial, LLC, which provided outsourced corporate accounting and finance services to concert promoters, music festivals, and record labels. Nicholas believed the prevailing problems in business management, which he witnessed firsthand at GR&F, could be solved through technology. In 2019, he co-founded Leftbrain to redefine what business management could and should be.
