Jason Maek & Zaena navigate the music space as successful artists and risk-taking entrepreneurs. As the founders of Maek, the first music record label, they have built one of the largest electronic music labels in the U.S. Jason and Zaena transformed their start up into a company that represents thousands of songs and over 30 artists in 20 countries.
As musicians, the duo first made a name for themselves by creating the first visual album in electronic music titled ‘Maek Pandamonium’. The duo followed up the successful formula with another visual media masterpiece, ‘Fashion Week: The Visual Album’. Rolling Stone called it, "The first great music project of the year." Their single "Birthday" rotated on several US radio stations and fueled viral popularity with hundreds of reaction videos on YouTube.
Currently, the duo is preparing for their second tour in partnership with PUMA, Pier 1, Snapchat, and Lyft. The tour will span 130 dates starting in September.
