President, Nimbit Inc
Greater Boston Area
A DIY pioneer, member of the “scrapper” generation, and an honors graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Philip Antoniades is consistently focused on finding innovative business solutions that create real income for musicians. This is the essential concept behind Nimbit, Inc., the company he represents as Co-founder and President. The Nimbit platform continually sets precedence for today's direct-to-fan sales and marketing model.
With over twenty years of experience in the music industry, Philip Antoniades is familiar with the many facets of the field, propelling his expertise into what is now Nimbit.com. He has toured nationally as a professional drummer, cementing his knowledge of the music industry from a musician’s point of view. At the same time, Philip has been consistently involved in the business side of the music world, having owned a record label, managed nationally touring artists, and worked as a producer and promoter.
In the early 1990’s, Philip Antoniades started Johnny Brock Management, a promotions and booking agency centered in and around the New England area. Johnny Brock Management was a principle partner in the International Acoustic Underground Competition. In 1996, he founded Artist Development Associates Inc., which provided mastering, CD manufacturing, design, and promotion services to independent artists on tour.
In 1997, Philip Antoniades launched CDfreedom.com to provide an online retail venue for fulfillment of CD’s and other merchandise to a growing Indie customer base. Since then, Indie music and its artists have continued to emerge as a popular, avant-garde genre; Philip Antoniades has continued to pursue this client base through Nimbit, Inc.. Nimbit first surfaced when it merged with Artist Development Associates in 2004.
