Background information
Occupation(s)Founder/CEO ArtistShare inc, musician, record producer, composer, author, educator, Computer Programmer

Brian Louis Camelio is an American musician, guitarist, composer, producer, and founder of ArtistShare.[1][2][3]

Camelio, who is considered one of the fathers of crowdfunding[4], in 2005 was featured in The Big Moo - The Group of 33, "an unprecedented collaboration of 33 of the world's smartest business thinkers" by renowned business writer Seth Godin.[5][6] He has been a guest speaker at the Judge Business School at Cambridge University,[7] Midem,[8] The Grammy Foundation at NARAS,[9] ASCAP,[10][11] NYU Law School,[12] University of the Arts (Philadelphia),[13] The Songwriters hall of fame [14] and The Future of Music Coalition.[15][16]

Camelio advised researchers from the Copyright Policy Branch of the Government of Canada as part of the Copyright Modernization Act.[17][18] He is a member of the core faculty of The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music,[19].

Music career

Camelio began his music career at the age of 9 and continued to pursue music at Clark University as a composition major. After finishing his music degree at the University of Vermont with a concentration in orchestral composition, he spent 15 years as a professional touring musician, composer and producer.[1]

Since founding ArtistShare, he is most active as a producer most notably producing 4 releases for Jazz guitar legend Jim Hall including Hemispheres the 2008 collaboration with Bill Frisell and Conversations (2010) with Joey Baron.[20] Camelio has also worked with a variety of popular artists including Trey Anastasio, Phish and Betty Buckley.[21][22]

Business career

After studying computer programming Brian started his first Internet business in 1998, an online fundraising portal for non-profit groups. The business was not a success but the lessons learned led him to projects geared more towards technology.[1] Around this time he also authored and published college music theory textbook named Finale Made Easy. [23]

In 2000 or 2001 Brian founded ArtistShare.[2][24][25][26] ArtistShare is a relationship-based fan-funding model for creative artists, in which fans contribute towards the funding of an artists latest work in exchange for insight into the creative process. In 2004, the first ArtistShare release won a Grammy for "Best Large Jazz Ensemble Recording" and made recording industry history as being the first album ever to win a Grammy that was not available in retail stores.[27][28] This is the moment Camelio describes as being his most memorable industry experience. [1]

In 2004, Brian was interviewed by researchers from the Copyright Policy Branch of the Government of Canada as part of the the Copyright Modernization Act, 2010. He is quoted as saying "ArtistShare is the only viable solution that I can see. With the advent of the latest technology, it is becoming increasingly clear that there needs to be a fundamental shift in how artists do business. That shift involves the expansion of the product offered and a completely different payment schedule. ArtistShare will provide the platform."[17]

The Jazz Review stated in January 2011 that Camelio "now may be considered visionary for perceiving the direction that the distribution of musical recordings was headed in 2001."[29]

Patent dispute

On February 8, 2011, U.S. patent US 7885887 , entitled "Methods and apparatuses for financing and marketing a creative work", was granted. Brian Camelio is named as inventor in the patent. On September 30, 2011, the crowdfunding site Kickstarter filed a request for declaratory judgment against this patent. They say that Brian Camelio is negotiating on behalf of the companies that own the patent, Fan Funded LLC and ArtistShare, and demanding license fees from them and threatening to sue them. They are asserting that the patent is invalid because the inventions it covers were either already known or were obvious at the time the patent application was filed in 2003.[30][31]
