Who We Are

STEPHEN LINN

Founder & President

Stephen Linn founded AmpliFLY because he felt no one was helping developing artists learn the skills they need to build a sustainable career. They weren’t being taught that they are a small business, just like the woman who owns a restaurant or the guy running a landscaping company.

Before launching AmpliFLY, Stephen served as SVP of Broken Bow Records’ artist management company and, prior to that, as Sr. Director of Music Programming and Promotion at CMT/MTV Networks. It was from his experiences there that AmpliFLY was born.

In addition to his work at AmpliFLY, Stephen is the Entrepreneur In Residence for Project Music & Entertainment at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, working with music and entertainment startup companies in the nation’s first music-tech accelerator. He also serves on the advisory board of several music tech startup companies.

Prior to the music business, Stephen was an award-winning television reporter, host, marketer, and author. He is also a frequent speaker at music, digital and media conferences across the country.
