Spotlight: How Digital Distributor Syntax Creative Evolved From a Hip-Hop Home to a Bluegrass Mainstay


Syntax Creative founder/CEO Timothy Trudeau discusses the company's evolution and prominent contributions to the business of bluegrass.

Other artists Trudeau has worked with include Man of War, Kaboose, Grits, and Nappy Roots (handling drum programming for their song “Right Now,” featured on the 2005 Daredevil soundtrack). By 2004, Syntax Creative was officially incorporated and has since evolved into a top independent music distributor and marketing agency, representing the exclusive global rights to over 150 record labels. Syntax has also continued further building its reputation in the bluegrass space through its partnership with Rebel Records, the 64-year-old label whose catalog of over 4,800 songs includes music from Larry Sparks, Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury and Bill Emerson.
