Profiel
As a London teenager, Thomas Robertson was fascinated with the convergence of music and technology.
His experiments with an assortment of keyboards, synthesizers and cassette players led his friends to dub him "Dolby".
That same fascination later drove him to become an electronic musician and multimedia artist whose groundbreaking work fused music with computer technology and video.
Thomas began his performing career beneath the streets of Paris, playing his synthesizer-based songs in the Metro subway.
The advent of MTV brought him increased exposure: His well-produced and intelligent videos stood out from the pack, and his songs "She Blinded Me With Science" and "Hyperactive" became huge hits.
Numerous awards and five Grammy nominations later, Thomas had achieved worldwide recognition as an artist.
While Thomas continued to pursue his own creative endeavors, developers of synthesizers, audio software and computer games courted Thomas to help them improve the audio capabilities of their products.
Noticing that existing audio software was linear, Thomas sought to create software that would make music and sound truly interactive.
With the advent of the Web, he found the perfect media for interactive audio.
Beatnik became the embodiment of Thomas' vision.
He built the company around a team of musically savvy engineers and technically astute musicians, and secured top management and funding.
Today, the same passion and vision that first drew a teenage Thomas Robertson to music and technology is at the core of Beatnik.
The excellence of Beatnik's technology has been underscored by high-profile agreements with companies such as WebTV Networks, Netscape, Macromedia and more.
