JamHub is a new product, but our JamHub team isn’t new to the music business. We’ve worked for companies like Line 6, Bose, and Apogee to bring innovative, market-changing products to musicians.
We’re passionate about playing music. And we created the JamHub™ silent rehearsal studio line to give musicians everywhere the freedom to jam anywhere, anytime without being told to “turn it down”. We want to inspire you to play more, create more and have more fun doing it. Isn’t that what being a musician is all about?
Our Crew:Steve Skillings, Founder, CEO & President, VP of Product Development Before Steve founded BreezSong LLC, makers of the JamHub™ line of products, he was in a band with the same problem shared by other bands: rehearsing was so loud it was driving their families crazy, and studio space was expensive and tough to find. One day, Steve was at a soccer game listening to another dad describe his son’s band and their rehearsals, limited to one hour a week because of where they lived. It reminded him that while rehearsals were tough for his own band, they can be nearly impossible for many musicians. But, since Steve is also an engineer and former product development guy at Bose, he did something about it. Steve started working on the concept for JamHub, and put together a team of passionate, and proven music industry veterans to join him and make JamHub a reality. Steve started playing guitar and jamming with his first band in his parents’ basement when he was 16. Today Steve is still in a band, and whether he’s playing a gig or jamming with other musicians, his goal is always the same: make some great music and have as much fun as possible. David McCarthy, VP of Marketing & Sales, Americas Dave is an experienced MI industry executive who started out as a co-owner of a music store in Southern California. In his career, he’s been at Lexicon, Peavey Corporation, and a VP at Line 6. Dave has tremendous experience connecting new, ground-breaking products with consumers’ needs and desires. Veronica Pierni, Treasurer, VP of Operations & Finance For Bose, Veronica audited worldwide internal controls, analyzed distribution facilities operations, and managed the Consumer Audio product sales planning team. In addition, she led the dotcom operations team and the in-house advertising operations team. Chuck Nemitz, Director of Customer Services Chuck is a multi-skilled guy, crafted by all his years touring the Northeast with his band. When Chuck “went corporate” he landed at HP and later Bose. An avid guitar player and singer, he never put down his 6 string. If you’re an artist, looking for a JamHub deal, he’s the guy you’ll want to talk with. He’s forgotten more about touring than most of us will ever know, so he’ll be a great guy to help you make the most of your tour bus -- whether it’s a custom bus, RV, van or sedan.
