Marc is the founder of Byta / byta.com “the platform for music before it’s on streaming services”. Run as a distributed team across 3 continents, Byta enables everyone to send & receive digital audio in a clean and simple way.
Marc got his start at Sloan’s murderecords in Halifax during eastern Canada’s 90s indie rock explosion, then moved to the UK to work in A&R at London’s legendary Creation Records.
