  • Hello and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.

  • The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.

  • On today's program we'll meet two founders driving cultural change through the power of music.

  • First, we'll head to Havana to get tips on opening a neighborhood hotel from a Grammy winning producer.

  • Part of the building used to have a very famous jazz club.

  • It's kind of a miracle that we ended up restoring a building that was known for its musical destination.

  • And later we'll meet the founder of a music platform tackling the challenges artists face in the streaming era.

  • We've seen artists.

  • Do you buy my album and you get a follow back on Twitter?

  • 5 fans are going to get meet and greets on my tour.

  • You get early access to tour tickets.

  • And because the artist is in full control of their campaign, they can choose to reward fans wherever they are in the world.

  • This is the Entrepreneurs with me, Tom Edwards.

  • You're listening to the Entrepreneurs.

  • We're starting out today's program celebrating the release of a brand new edition of the Entrepreneurs, our yearly business special of Monaco magazine.

  • Among the many in inspirational stories in this year's issue is a guide on launching a neighbourhood hotel.

  • Monacle's Thomas Lewis traveled to Havana to meet Grammy winning music producer Andres Levine.

  • A 20 year resident of the Cuban capital.

  • Andres recently restored a grand 1930s hotel building with a rich musical pedigree in the Caiawaso district.

  • A neighborhood with character that is too often missed by Havana's million annual visitors.
