Marc Ferrari – RnR Business Animal – EP078

Episode Description:

Marc Ferrari is a RnR business animal. Known for being the lead guitar player in Keel and Cold Sweat, Marc has played to thousands of Rock n Roll animals around the world. Marc has done the whole Rockstar thing, but that is just a small stop in his musical journey through life.

Some of Marc’s career highlights include: writing songs for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, writing and releasing two solo records, playing guitar for Crucial Taunt, a fictional band in a couple of the most iconic movies from the 1990s, Wayne’s World. Oh, and did we forget to mention that Marc is also a writer? Marc has written two books, a music business book called “Rock Star 101” and a children’s book called “Don’t Dilly Dally Silly Sally.”

All of these accomplishments, and they still are probably not his most financially or intellectually biggest success. When Marc’s musical career was starting to decline in the early 90s, when the fans of hard rock and metal started to turn to grunge, Marc started Mastersource, a music publishing company to license music to TV and movies. He grew that company at the right time and later sold it to Universal Music Publishing.

He’s an entrepreneur, investor, musician, writer, producer, and in all of that he still found the time to work on a re-release of the cult hard rock record “Break Out,” from his band Cold Sweat

We caught up with Marc and discussed some of his days with Keel and some of his many accomplishments, along with the release and re-master of Cold Sweat’s one and only record “Break Out.”
