Reply To: Mini Review of Musio, My Pick for Best BF Deal of 2024; $149 Sale Ends Dec 10

[Peter DeLegge]

I learned a little more info about Cinesamples new CEO, and I’m guessing, he’s also likely the new owner and it does make me think there may be hope for Cinesamples.

He’s the son of musician Howard Hewett — from 80s hit band Shalamar — and actress Nia Peeples from the TV show Fame. He’s a composer. for various TV shows and films and has worked as a Content Art Director at Artiphon (2019-2023), leading creative design and production.

From people in the industry, Mike Patti’s real love is composing. He has a master’s in music. I’m guessing that’s where he’s redirecting his career. His LinkedIn resume makes it clear that he’s no longer working at Cinesamples but is working as a composer and producer. It could be that he is having Chris run the business while still maintaining ownership or partial ownership.

As you can see on the below graph, according to LinkedIn (definitely not the most reliable source for this info, but it’s all we have on this small privately traded business), Cinesamples has had a decline in the total number of employees over the past couple of years. However, it still has a staff of approximately 10 people, which is more than enough employees to operate this kind of business and I have been told by an industry insider that they have some talented people on the team.
