Shane Brown has spent 25+ years building, producing, and advising across music, film, brands, live events, and technology. iKonX is what those decades taught him, the platform that connects an industry he has worked inside since the beginning.
Behind the scenes with the biggest names in the business, I saw every gap the industry kept ignoring. iKonX is the fix.

25+ years behind the scenes with the biggest names in music, film, and entertainment.
Trusted by the clients below.






























25+ years in, I have learned the work starts with the relationship. I build trust with brands, individuals, and companies first, focus on exactly what they need, and let the work speak for itself. Relationships I still keep to this day. I build platforms, produce content, create marketing systems, advise brands and artists, speak and teach, and connect the verticals most people treat as separate.
Immersive software, commerce platforms, and the systems that ship them.

Synapse Summit, Billion Dollar MindsetAnd I saw how disconnected all of it really was. Music, film, brands, sport, hospitality, venues, immersive technology, and the startups built from all of it.
Much of this work came back around. The same names, year after year.
Written and directed by Bill Posley. Co-written by Jonathan Colomb. Starring Tunde Laleye, with horror legend Tony Todd. Premiered at SXSW, won the Midnighters Audience Award, and was released by Quiver Distribution.
I was an executive producer on it. The honest truth is I was lucky to be part of their vision and their work. This one belongs to Bill, Jonathan, and Tunde, and the entire production team. I am proud to just be able to say I was a part of it.

Real moments behind the music, film, sport, and live work, with the talent and brands who make it.












Live events are where it all connects. The artists, the crowds, and the brands in one room. Some of the names on iKonX today, I met building these.
The biggest Spring Break event in Tampa, live at The Ritz Ybor. Headlined by Murda Beatz, with AB, Kali, BlocBoy JB, and LaCro$$e, hosted by iHeartMemphis.
Founded and funded start to finish by Tunde Laleye, the founder of Laleye Studios and co-founder of iKonX. The credit is his. I was lucky to help bring it together. Several of the artists from that stage are on iKonX today. This is part of how, and why, iKonX came together.
A Laleye Studios production.Trusted to head the ViZion Tech Bowl, a three-day music festival planned for 20,000 people a day across 5 Acres, alongside the NFLPA and NFL Alumni. Leading a build at that scale, trusted by the league and the team to run it, is the work I am built for.
Live events are what iKonX was built to power, and where it all started.The platform and the playbook to build a following and earn from it.

What it all built. The product everyone else gets to use.
Every chapter fed directly into the next, until they converged into a single platform.
From St. Petersburg to the University of South Florida, where he earned a Business Administration degree with a Marketing minor and joined Sigma Nu. He studied acting under Kathy Laughlin and headed for Los Angeles.
His first producing credits came through Bill Posley on viral sketch comedy in 2011. He shot dozens of projects for free to earn the room.
He produced and managed major music videos: consecutive Enrique Iglesias videos, work touching Lil Wayne and Christina Milian, then work across Beyonce's Parkwood ecosystem including the Heaven video, plus emerging-artist development for Chloe x Halle, Sophie Beem, and Ingrid.
Executive producer on Bitch Ass (2022), a SXSW Audience Award winner directed by Bill Posley and starring Tunde Laleye.
He built his own proprietary VR-in-real-time software in 2016 and ran the #1 virtual-tour company in the US, delivering immersive work for Live Nation, SBE/SLS, Wynn, House of Blues, Caesars, and Gordon Ramsay's venues, plus marquee sports including the PGA Valspar Championship and the College Football Playoff.
Over two years he taught himself to ship and built the entire iKonX app: live payments, booking, and a full paid-messaging marketplace to Apple App Store standards, powered by AI and blockchain. He built it while fighting to stay in his two sons' lives, and built it for the independent artist.
So I built the companies and systems around that problem. The industry looks connected. It is not. Artists, fans, venues, promoters, brands, and the people who manage them all run on separate tools and separate middlemen who each take a cut. iKonX is the fix, the first commerce network built specifically for music and entertainment, live on the Apple App Store in 175+ countries. It is not an outside idea about an industry. It is the platform version of 25+ years spent inside it.
