Tom Seufert Bio:
Creative director Tom Seufert has been in the music business since he picked up a guitar at age 13 (two years later he was in the house band at The Hullabaloo in Hollywood performing original material). After time spent as a recording artist on Epic and Ariola Records, he started producing his band and other recording artists. He later formed a small "boutique" music house and began scoring commercials, film and interactive. In 1998, Seufert discovered a new creative business model that changed his life. He established a creative network of more than 50 hit songwriters, composers, sound designers and recording artists. This allowed him to provide Visual Music clients with a huge range of music and sonic possibilities.
