STARTIST is a creative collective started by the producing team of Tom Matera and Nico Paradysz. We deliver high-quality custom services for up-and-coming artists from top producers, engineers, designers, photographers, and marketers.

The music industry has historically focused its services on the needs of established artists while leaving artists that are at the beginning of their careers to fend for themselves.

The options for new songwriters and artists are limited. They have to sift through countless music, branding, and marketing professionals to find the ones that will help them progress as an artist. This process is confusing and tedious, taking the artist away from what they love — making great music.  

With STARTIST, Tom and Nico provide a solution. They surround their clients with a team of outstanding music professionals. They understand how to launch an artists’ journey – from music creation, to branding, and to marketing. They simplify and personalize this process. You’ll collaborate with their team daily, either virtually or in-person at our studio located in the New York metro area.

STARTIST is more than just a group of industry professionals. They’re your personal team whose mission is to help you kickstart your music career.
